AGV transport discontinuouly

I set a AGV system using cycle path,

wish it can transport item form Queue1 to Queue2 or Queue3,

and then transport item form Queue4 to Queue5,

as a cycle.


But in my model,

AGV usually skypping item ，even if there are items in Qurue1 and Qurue4.
Is there have any idea to let the AGV transport continuouly?

The AGV process flow template does this.

To use it you'd need to:

  1. add the process flow template to your models
  2. add the transporter the template as an attached object (instance)
  3. change the use transport options to push to an item list.
  4. consider changing the capacity of the transporter
  5. consider changing the process flow variable "UnloadToEmpty" to zero.
