Pickup item from station directly

I want to let item holding in station as area restriction option is selected. And then when AGV pick up item, the item exit from restricted area, next item starts to flow.

But, item flows as process time of station2 finished, new item start to flow even the item is not ready to exit from conveyor.

how to control the area restriction? Is it possible to let AGV break the restricted area?

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.1.5

All of the information about the restricted area is stored by the area "owner". A reference to that owner is the only information the trigger code to release the area needs. If you can provide that information, you can run the code from anywhere in the model.

I modified your model, so the first station is the owner of the area and the AGV has a label that points to that station. This allows to exit the area in triggers of the AGV. (I opened the code editor and used copy/paste to bring the code over to the AGV trigger).
