I want to fix some errors and use the elevator to unload the goods.

first some errors occur : could not fine a valid path to the destination

Destination: STORAGE_1

I want to solve this problem and.. My final goal is as follows :

Place the 1st floor battery charging station. If the battery is low, it automatically enters the charging station. For the movement of logistics, I want to create a logistics automation that picks up items on the 2nd floor and drops items on the sink on the 1st floor. I'd like to move the elevator using two kinds of climbing and descending. please help me.. I need a lot of help, but if you help me, I will understand and learn hard. Thank you.

and.. error occur when I upload file and picture :(

Hey @BAEK,

It sounds like you are using the AGV network in your model, so let me know if that is not correct. If you are using AGVs, then the error you are getting is because an AGV cannot reach the STORAGE_1 object from wherever it is on the AGV network. There are a few different reasons this can happen, and you can find help on troubleshooting the possibilities here:

https://docs.flexsim.com/en/23.0/WorkingWithTasks/AGVNetworks/Troubleshooting/Troubleshooting.html

If you want to try uploading your model again, that will be the best way for us to help troubleshoot it with you. If you are still getting errors while uploading, try to copy and paste the error message if you can and add the text as a comment to your question so we can see what is happening. We can also set up a temporary link for you to upload the model files (and screenshot of the website errors) if needed.

For the other things you want to do in your model with batteries and elevators, I would recommend using the AGV Process Flow Templates:

https://docs.flexsim.com/en/23.0/WorkingWithTasks/AGVNetworks/UsingAGVProcessFlowTemplate/UsingAGVProcessFlowTemplate.html

A few of the templates do not utilize battery depletion/charging, but the ones that include a section for Parking should. I do recommend reading through the beginning of the page I linked and not just jumping to a template with parking/battery charging.

There is also another section of the manual that goes over adding elevators to AGV networks:

https://docs.flexsim.com/en/23.0/WorkingWithTasks/AGVNetworks/AddingElevatorsAGVs/AddingElevatorsAGVs.html

And If I am not mistaken, you can add another process flow from the "Add an Object Process Flow" section, called AGV Elevator, in conjunction with one of the AGV templates.
