AGVs aren't working

Hello. I have a problem with AGVs in my model. The AGVs are not working. I used the Dispatcher. Even if it works, they don't take the boxes and empty them completely. They move several turns unnecessarily, without emptying the boxes. Also, they sometimes don't use the alternative ways that I do so that they don't wait for each other. Could you please help?

Please connect from dispatcher to AGV with object connection Type "A". You did it in reverse order.

Thank you so much. My this problem is solved. But now AGVs don't take the boxes and empty them completely. They move several turns unnecessarily, without emptying the boxes. Also, they sometimes don't use the alternative ways that I do so that they don't wait for each other. Could you please help?

add more control points into your path system. An AGV allocates and blocks a path segment between two control points he is raveling on. If you have more segments available the transport seems to be more smoothly. I didn't watch multiple turns without emptying.

Thank you so much. As you said, I added control points but The AGVs in my model can't empty all of them in the first round after receiving the boxes. They can't get new boxes because they come back with boxes. That's why there are so many boxes piling up in the queue. This is a problem.
