AGV Pie Chart: Difference in full tote and empty tote

Hello there! I have created a simple simulation to illustrate my question as you can see in the picture underneath. An AGV takes an empty tote, brings it to a combiner and later on the AGV transports the full tote to it's final destination.

I also created a Pie Chart to represent the state of the AGV as you can see in the picture underneath.

I was wondering if it was possible to devide the 'travel loaded' segment into two different segments: one that represents the time the AGV is transporting an empty tote and one that represents the time the AGV is transporting a full tote.

Thank you!

Hi @Julien L2,

There's not a default option for this, but you could use something like a tracked variable to indicate whether the tote is loaded or not. Do you need a percentage or some other metric to compare the two states?

Hi @tanner.p,

I would like to represent this date using a Pie Chart, so i think a tracked variable may be a possible solution if I then use this variable in my data of the pie chart template. I will try to figure this out.

Thank you.

@Julien L2,

I think using a tracked variable that updates when the AGV changes its state might be your best bet. Then, in the statistics collector, you can have that data available to differentiate between the travel tasks when it was loaded vs empty.

Let us know if you have any further questions with this and we'll do our best to help.
