AGV unload without checking if processor is busy

Hello


I have 2 AGVs, and each one has its own sequence, but both of them are using the same processor.

the AGV unloads into the processor even if the processor is busy, how can I let the AGV wait until the processor gets empty to unload?


i want to put the waiting if busy for both AGVs

@Adnan Please take a look at the sample model. The approach I used is to assign processor as Resource. You will acquire Processor and Release the Processor after the item enter into Sink.

AGV send to processor when ready.fsm

Hi David,


Thank you for the model and the info, I tried to implement the same way but when I assign the process as a resource, it is as if the resource is acting on its own without effects on whether the AGV unloads or waits..


Therefore, can you please explain a bit more details for me.. if you can check on my model file.. this issue is the last step I need to complete my project.


note that I have a student version limited with only 30 elements and 35 process flow elements)


Thanks a lot

A quick way to make sure the processor is empty before unloading is to use the "On Content Change" event in a Wait for Event activity.

The "Fire If Initial Value Meets Rule" option allows the token to continue when the processor is already empty when it arrives.

Hi Felix.


It worked perfectly as I needed it and was also simple to do.
