How to stop an AGV when its leading edge reaches a control point

My AGVs (here: trucks) have a travel task to a control point. But I want they stop at the control point exactly when their leading edges reach the control point (and not the center of the AGV).

How could I do it? Thanks for you help!

Hi @David Besson,

There's not currently a default setting for this, but there will be lots of new updates to the AGV system in the next release of the software. This should be one of those new features included in that update.

As far as workarounds go, I recommend either changing the size of the AGV (truck) or changing the distance of the control point to the wall. I know of one additional workaround, but I don't think it works using flow items as AGVs like what's your model.

Thanks for your answer.
Indeed, it does not work because the trucks have different sizes and they do not have dedicated control points...
I look forward to the next release!
