Hi
In the above image, i want to move AGV1 to point one when it is idle and when agv2 tries to acquire the CP in the box. How can I achieve that?

Hi @Pinakin K,
I was able to add the necessary logic to your model to accomplish your desired outcome. I just added a Wait for Event activity on AGV1 that triggers when AGV2 becomes blocked. In order to aid with the correct movement, I also spaced out the control points more. If they need to be closer together, you'll need to adjust some of the logic I created to make that work.

@Ryan Clark Thanks for your answer. My actual application is a bit different than this. this was a simplified version of what i want to achieve. So to clarify further, i would have same processflow to run both the agvs and using wait for event would not be always possible here. is there a way to use the Agent system to achieve this. Like if one agv is idle and another one comes into proximity of the former one it would automatically move it out. If that is not an ideal way to apply this i'll try to use the wait for event in my model.
Hi @Pinakin K,
Sorry for the delay in my reply! I was able to find a way to use the Agent System to accomplish your objective. It is in essence what you suggested. An event triggers when they are in proximity of each other, and the code checks if the agent is currently idle and if the other AGV is trying to acquire its current Control Point.
