how can i set the task executer?

Hi everyone, in model is supposed to work in this logic: the task executer should move, after that the rack is full, from StartLoad to control point, load a certain number of boxes from rack1, than move to control2, load other boxes and at the end go on unloading point and unload the boxes in queue, in order to finish is work in Charging Place. In the model that I attached the task executer does not move on the path that I assigned but the boxes are unloaded from rack to queue with a good logic.

can anybody help me to fix this problem?

Hi @Francesco S,

There are a few tweaks I made to your model:

Right by your CP "StartLoad", you have a break in your AGV path. Make sure connect the paths.
Connect your task executor to your AGV path using an A-connection. Connect it as a traveller AGV
If you want your AGV to wait until the rack is full, I would recommend using a "Batch" activity. I configured it like so:
In your resource, you are pointing to a task executor in your flowitem bin. Instead, point to your task executor in your 3d model:
For your loading and unloading activities, run a sub-flow so the task executor will load and unload all of the items at once. See the attached model for the example.
