AGV-Module, stop AGV and waiting for work

How can I stop an AGV and waiting for the same item that he transported before?

An AGV should unload an item on ControlPoint14, drive to ControlPoint15, should wait on this place until the item is finished, load the item and bring it to the sink.

I tried to do this with Way Points in the AGVNetwork Properties but it doesn´t work!

Thanks for helping!

I didn't see this post before replying to your comment on this other post, so I will just move the conversation here.

I'm not positive how Way Points are intended to be used, but I do know that the following statement in the User Manual (under "AGV Network") suggests that Process Flow will help you achieve more of the complex functionalities, such as specifying that an AGV must wait for an item that it dropped off to be finished processing before continuing. Have you used the AGV Process Flow before? Maybe you could look into going this route.

Hallo @tanner.p and @Francisco LP

I wrote a new post because the old post was exceptet but the problem was not solved.

So, I tried again in AGV-Module but without waypoints. That´s my solution. Is it ok to do it in this way?

@christoph gruber,

I apologize for the delayed reply - I have been out of the office.

The model you uploaded seems to work. I don't see a problem with controlling your AGV this way if it behaves as you think it should. The visuals get a little mixed up at points, but it's a functioning model, so I think you're okay to use it.
