AGV-Specific Pick-List Actions   

The AGV module includes several pick-list actions that are designed specifically to work with the AGV network.

Use Transport: Move Item via AGV

This can be applied in a FixedResource's Use Transport field. For an example of using the Move Item via AGV action, refer to Tutorial Lesson 3. Usually this will be used in conjunction with the Way Point's Look For Work and/or Wait For Work actions.

Search Start Point / For Each - These define the search scope for finding a Control Point to place the flow item for pickup. This is similar to a Way Point's Redirect Via Search scope, except that the base point is usually current, i.e. the FixedResource from which the flow item is being transported. The default starts at the origin FixedResource, and searches first the Control Points connected to it via the "Location" connection, and then from there enumerates all the Control Points in the "PickupPoints" connection.

Filter (WHERE) - Defines criteria for placing the flow item in a given Control Point. Similar to the Way Point's Redirect Via Search filter, but here you use controlPoint as the accessor instead of destination.

Prioritization (ORDER BY) - Defines prioritization. Again, this is similar to the Way Point's Redirect Via Search prioritization.

Task Queue Location - Defines where the generated task sequence will be stored. Usually this will be the "head" Control Point, i.e. the Control Point that has multiple PickupPoints connections.

Origin Control Point Transfer - Defines how the flow item should be moved to the origin Control Point. You can use a simple delay time, or you can transport it via another Operator/Transport.

Destination Transfer - Defines how the flow item should be moved to the final destination FixedResource once it's been dropped-off at the drop-off Control Point. You can use a simple delay, or have it be moved via an Operator/Transport, or just Do Nothing, in which case you would need to have some other trigger that initiates moving into the final destination.

OnResourceAvailable: Look For Work

The Look For Work action can be applied in a TaskExecuter/Dispatcher's OnResourceAvailable trigger. It is the same as a Way Point's Look For Work action.

OnResourceAvailable: Redirect Via Direct Reference

The Redirect Via Direct Reference action can be applied in a TaskExecuter/Dispatcher's OnResourceAvailable trigger. It is the same as a Way Point's Redirect Via Direct Reference action.
