Using AGV Processflow: One or multiple?

Hi

I would like to know for the different AGV with different task type, should we setup different AGV processflow? Currently, I have two types of AGVs. One for production and one for finished good. They run on the same tracks. Will there a different in result when having a single AGV PF or multi-page of AGV PF? Anyone has any suggestion and advise on this?

Thanks

David

You can do it with one AGV PF if you would like. You would just have to partition the lists.

I would not mess with the list partitions, since they are already partitioned by control point. You can partition by multiple values, but that is usually difficult to manage correctly.

I would use one flow. The AGVs pull from a list to see if there is an item to load. You could add a dynamic field to that list that returns a 1 if the AGV can load the item, or a 0 otherwise. Then, in the pull query, you could say WHERE MyField, to filter out items that the AGV should not load.
