Request and Require number in list

Hello, I will like to ask a question about the request and require number inside the "pull from list" activity. Will the setting be related to the number of items the AGV take if I want the AGV to pick up from different processors and then go back to sink. Thanks! 1690857299026.png

All this does is set how many items (probably) the token takes from the list - 1 or 2 in this case depending on availability.

What you do with that information on the token determines what happens in the model.

If you create a independant task sequences for an AGV with a Break task in each and dispatch them at the same time - the AGV will do both if the capacity is set to two (you need to uncheck wait until complete on all the tasks up to the Break task).

The other technique is to use a subflow to invoke multiple load and unload tasks as many examples on this site show, and as documented in the Tutorials.
