Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem using AGV

I am trying to solve a capacitated vehicle routing problem using AGVs. For example, I have 5 AGVs, and I want different AGVs to satisfy the demand of different set of nodes. Can you guide me on how to do it. Is this possible using AGV process flow templates?

See the following article:

Optimized AGV Dispatching with Google OR-Tools

It uses a different, non-capacitated version of the VRP, but it does give you the basic setup for connecting to a VRP solver.

I have connected to an external python code that returns the destination nodes that each AGV has to go to. Can you help me with the process flow with which I can instruct the AGVS to go to control point 1 pick up the load and unload them at destination nodes.
