The AGV is a support unit to assist in the transport of flowitems. You can activate the Use Transport option in the flow tab of the fixed resources objects. But maybe you know this already. Can you please tell us something more about your model. What happens in the model, what should happen? Have you gone through the tutorials of the AGV modules? What are your experiences with Flexsim?And can you attach your model? That would it make easier to find an answer to your question.

In my model, taskexecuter(called AGV) loads item from queue4 and sends to one of three processors based on process time of processors (shortest process time).

I would want to set this logic in taskexecuter and not in send to port of queue4. This because i have set a MTBFMTTR for breakdowns of processors. If logic is in send to port of queue4, it's possible that taskexecuter brings item to a breakdown processor.

So i would want that the decision is made by taskexecuter every moment and not when taskexecuter is on queue4.

Click on Process FlowAdd a Task Executer Process FlowAGV (or a blank one if you want)

Then make sure to Attach the TaskExecuter from the Quick Properties of the Process Flow window.

Are you familiar with lists at all? Because based on what you're describing it sounds like a good approach could be to use a Process Flow, that pulls processors from a list and assigns them as the processor for the AGV to drop items off.

The key here would be to create a field on the list that measures the process time remaining. And then you could query the list when you pull from it, to grab the processor with the shortest time.
