How to assign a color to a drop off point with an AGV?

There's one AGV and one path until the end. How do I make it so red goes to point A and green goes to point B.

@Madeline Z,

A picture is nice but it doesn't tell us what is going on in the model. To be able to answer your question, we would need you to send us your model or a sample model of the problem area. Without your model it would be very difficult to be able to answer your specific question.

Thanks.

Hi @Madeline Z,

I wasn't sure what you were using as your point B, but I adjusted your model to have all green cubes get routed to a certain queue.

I made 3 main changes to your model:

Connect all of your pick-up queues to your point B using a-connections.
For all pick-up queues underneath flow, change the Send to Port field to "Port by Case". Configure it as follows:
Make sure to change all AGV network paths to 2-way if the AGV needs to back up to get to the main loop.

I hope this helps!
