This is with reference to Multiple AGVs question raised model
Note - I have just modified with creating 2 totes for each AGV
AGV 1 and 2 has maximum 12 capacity in each tote
AGV 3 has maximum 6 capacity in each tote
Model is showing errors.
Please see the attached model

Hi Pooja,
the problem with your model is that you're creating two totes and assigning them to the same token label, token.tote; therefore, this label is an array that contains both flowitems. When referring to them, you should be using token.tote[1] and token.tote[2].
You create two totes per token, but the rest of the Process Flow assumes that the "tote" label contains a reference to a single item.
You have to adjust every part of the Process Flow that uses this label to it now being an array of values.
- You can run the "Attach Tote as Trailer" as a subflow, with each child token refering to an item at a different index.
- The "Space in tote" Decide activities need to check each tote for capacity. If a tote with capacity is found, it should be stored in some other label so you can later refer to the correct tote in the "Unload Item - Operator" activity.
If you are having difficulties to make these changes I would suggest you first get familiar with basic coding in FlexSim if you haven't already.

Hello,
I have implemented for 2 totes as per you answer.
Showing error while collecting the boxes.
Please see the attached model
You have not updated the "Space in tote" Decide activity and you also still use the "tote" label in the "Run Collection" activity.
I've made the necessary changes to your model. Please take some time to check where the label "totes" is used and where I still use "tote". The "tote" label is updated in the Decide activity code and determines to which of the attached trailers the operator will unload.
