AGV network issue - Assign AGV process flow

Hello,

I am currently lost in making an AGV system, the system I need is small but making the process flow correctly got me lost.

My aim is to compare a traditional system that is 1 straight path of process without AGVs (I already made it) and compare it with an AGV system to show that the AGV system will produce more in less time utilizing the stations more efficiently.

the AGV one is a bit hard for me as I am still new in Flexsim. I really need this system to work as it is the last thing I need for my project. (I have the student version with 30 elements limit)

I appreciate any help. Thanks a lot.

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.2.2

If it's a fixed pattern then having a look for work loop is probably incorrect - so you should create your own process flow with specific travel tasks and coordination activities with finished items/list entries.
