How to close a path in a new scenario of AGV

I have 2 AGVs, they are picking items from a sources and dropping off in two drop off locations. My AGVs are now looping around the the four control points as North-West-South_East. I want to run another scenario where it should loop around four control points as North-West1-South_East1. I want to close the path where West and East control points are located. Basically, I want to control over the path selection for AGV. I appreciate your suggestions so solve this problem.

Thanks, Abdul

Hi,

As per your question, you are trying to directing the AGV by closing of one of the path and make the AGV to move on another path. Instead of closing the path you can choose the path in which the AGV wants to go and I think this may be a better way to control the AGV as per your routing constraint.

I have created a label called AGVRoute on control points for East1=1, West1=1 and East=2, West=2, and a table name called AgvRoutingTable that holds the Routing path value for each Agv's.

If the value is 1 the agv will loop around North-West1-south-East1 and drop the item at control point9 If it is 2 then the agv will loop around North-West-South-East and drop the item at control point10

I have used Agv Templates to direct the agv to your required constraint.

The bellow pic illustrates the main function logic where the choosing of the correct path happens:

I have attached the model below for your reference have a look at it.

Thank you.
