Attached is a version with partitioned AGVWork list and two AGV Process Flows - one for 1 AGV and the other for those remaining (in version 18.1).

There are two objects in the model which do nothing except give the queues something to use as the partition identifier - and they're just connected with a center port connection. (they're the cylinder shapes)

Thanks! The model you provided solved the problem, but can you explain further how these partition identifier created? Because I tried to create one but ended up can't find and I copy from your model and do central connect then it doesn't work.

Yes sure - the key thing is that the AGVwork is paritioned so when pull from that in each AGVProcessFlow you need to enter the identifier in here:

And you can see next that I used an object (cyclinders called AGVPartition1 and 2) as the idrentifier but it could also just be the numbers 1 and 2

Then all the placed that create AGVwork on the use transport trigger need to refer to the same partition - here you can see I'm using the object I connected via center port (the cylinder shape) but equally again, you could just enter 1 or 2, A or B - whatever you want to choose really.

The key thing is to have a different partition for AGVs on different networks.
