How to get AGV Utilization in case where trailers are attached to AGV ?

I am referring to this Old post. If I use AGV with trailers attached using process flow and run the model, state of AGV remains "travel empty" even when parts are loaded in the trailers.

is there any way I can get proper utilization of AGV?

Hi @Chitra J,

This is a little difficult because the items are getting loaded into the trailers, not the AGV. Since objects generally set their own states, we will need to mimic loading an item on to the AGV itself. In the attached example, I use Process Flow to create an "Invisible" box, load it into the AGV when the trailer is loaded, then destroy the object when the trailer is unloaded.
