can we consider the following scenario with flexsim.
There are several stations, each one is equipped with robots.
The part to be processed is under the AGV. This AGV moves from one station to another and the part will be processed under the AGV. So the part always remains under the AGV and the operations will be carried out on the AGV.
Thank you

@Donia M See attached model. This is how I would do it for small number of robots. The delays represent your process time.Example Robot AGV Path.fsm
Someone else may have a streamlined way of doing the process flow. Using resource groups and center connects would probably be the condensed code version.
Hi @Michael D6
Thank you for your reponse.
In fact, the object still on the AGV even when it is processed (the object).
The AGV moves while carrying the object, between several stations (processors or robots), spaced apart from each other. Finally, it drop this object on the final station, and then it will be along.
So, the AGV remove the object only when all tasks had been done.
Thank you
HI @Donia M do you have a model showing roughly what you want to accomplish? Are you trying to have an AGV stop at a robot and then the robot do a process on an object on the AGV without removing it and then have the AGV continue along?
