Hello
I'm new with Flexsim and I have been learning to make an AVG network. I've used different kind of tactics and probably did some wrong things. But it's working for me and does what I want.
My question: How can I know the % worktime from the AGV robot. I want to know how much time he's working and how much time he's looking for work. But I really have no clue how I could measure this in the dashboard.
Thank you for your time.

Are you looking for a Utilization pie chart?
For that, you can use the State Pie template. You just have to add the AGV to the chart. Here's a demo model:
Thank you for your response, in the mean time I have discovered the pie chart like your example but I still have a problem, when the AGV hasn't any work he is following the lookingforwork trajectory. When he's doing that his status says this: "Travel empty". I want to know 3 parameters: "Travel empty", "travel loaded" and "Lookingforwork".
At this moment I just deleted the lookingforwork function and I have the status: "idle" which is basically the same. But in reality the AGV is going to keep following a fixed lookingforwork path... I was just wondering IF there is a possibility to measure the "lookingforworktime".
Looking for work and travel empty are the same. But there is a state when the AGV receives a transport task and the vehicle travels to the loading station. This is at the moment still the state travel empty, in fact the vehicle travels to work. You can record the event when the AGV receives a transport task and the loading event and place this state as a custom state in a calculated table in your statistic collectors.
