AGV move racks to the nearest queue

Hi there! There are a few conditions in my model.

1. AGV will move the rack to the nearest station.

2. AGV will leave the rack at the station then continuing move other racks to the station. AGV will move the rack to rack's original position when the process finish.

3. Each station max can process 1 rack. Each queue max can store 2 racks.

For 1, I know that's a way to control agv move the rack to the nearest station by using "send to the shortest queue", but I wonder how to adjust this in process flow?

For 2, I have the idea that I should use "decide", but I am not sure about the code of conditional decide. Is it correct to group the 2 stations, and using "wait for event" to listen stations' process finish activities?

Thanks in advanced!

Hello @Emily K,

These are great questions. Please, limit one question per post.

1: Select your resource and at the bottom of the pop up you should see an advanced button. Select the advanced button and you will then see a resource properties window. Under the fields tab, select the green plus and select a parameter you would like to sort by.

After this you can then edit either the Queue Strategy on the resource or the Query on the acquire resource activity.

Please, ask your question 2 and 3 in separate posts and elaborate upon them if you can.
