AGV Tugger Example

Here is the model I showed at FlexSimposium. It shows three tuggers traveling to various destinations and has a control area modeled to avoid collisions at an intersection.

I'm not quite understand about AGV ProcessFlow, so I want to know if you have some operations to make the AGV transporting items as tugger(if so I can not find where it is)? Or Is it the default transporting mode in AGV ProcessFlow?

In AGV control panel under AGV Types there's a setting to attach the loads as trailers,

You can also use a Custom Code activity in a process flow to attach an object as a trailer.

There is more information on this here.
