Load only items when it has specific lable

How can I let an AGV load items from a queue with an specific lable?

My AGV is running around a course and picking up items from different queues. The items differ inside the queue.

At some point one queue is offering only one type of item. I want the AGV to only grab one type of items in the complete course. Otherwise it has to travel to different sinks, what I don't want.

0001.fsm

0001_autosave.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 18.1.2

agv flexsim 18.1.2 agv load queue load

0001.fsm (124.9 KiB)

0001-autosave.fsm (124.8 KiB)

Current Logic

1. Sources are filling up the queues, they all have a different time between item delivery

2. The AGVs start running, when the first queue provides an item (Obiviosly, because the Controlpoints are connected with "next lokk for work")

3. The first AGV picks up the item and proceeds to the next queue.

4. After that the second AGV starts travelling towards Queue no1, because in the ProcessFlow there is a conditional decide, I think by default.

5. The second AGV arrives at Queue no.1 but there is no item, because AGV1 picked it up and the source won't provide a new item that quick.

The logic I want

1. Sources are filling up the queues, they all have a different time between item delivery

2. The AGVs start running, when the first queue provides an item (Obiviosly, because the Controlpoints are connected with "next lokk for work")

3. The first AGV picks up the item and proceeds to the next queue.

4. After that the second AGV needs to stay at the parking point and waits till Queue no x is filled up.

Philipp,

"3. The first AGV picks up the item and proceeds to the next queue."

Does the AGV pick up all items from consecutive queues, until capacity is reached? You mentioned something by label above. Please specify.

"4. After that the second AGV needs to stay at the parking point and waits till Queue no x is filled up"

What does queue no. x mean?

I changed my complete workaround. But thanks for your help.
