Delay item in queue and put on pickup point

Hi,

I want to let the item stay in the equipment for a certain number of seconds after it arrives at the equipment, according to the time in the "delay_table".

I have tried to add a delay function to the Item Pickup block in the AGV template, but this will cause all models with pickupPoint to be delayed, but the pickupPoint connected to Source_q does not need to be delayed.

I want to know if there is a way to make the item stay in the equipment for a certain number of seconds according to the time in the "delay_table" without adding any processors.

Thank you very much for your advice.

A simple solution would be to use an await statement in the Send to Port code to delay the item getting pushed to the transportation list.

await Delay.seconds(Table("delay_table")[current.name][1]);
