[FFS] Tip for AGV delivering multi parts

Hello.

This is a tip for AGV delivering multi parts.

This is an example scenario :

There are two kinds of products, MP_Big and MP_Small. 

Because MP_Big is big, the AGV can pick up only 1 MP_Big at DZ1 and drop it off at DZ6.

And, because MP_Small is small, the AGV can pick up 3 MP_Small at DZ2 and drop off one by one at DZ3, DZ4, and DZ5 cyclically.

 

1. For this scenario, first we need to set up Task selection mode = First Pending Task and Capacity = 3.

But, with these settings, the AGV can pick up multi MP_Big or MP_Small.

 

 

2. To make the AGV pick up 1 MP_Big, we need to set "Edit Product Capacity".  ​​​​

Now the AGV picks up 1 MP_Big, but it also picks up 2 other MP_Small.

 

 

3. To make the AGV pick up only 1 MP_Big without any other parts, we need to set "Manage Pick/Drop Zones" under "Transport Behavoir" sectioin. 

AGV can be selected for any kind of task, i.e. when it is delivering parts, it can also be selected for a route group task, if it has capacity for the new product.
 

In case user wants to restrict picking parts to a set of DZ, a pick\\drop zone can be created with Type “Allowed Zone for pick”. During Simulation, once a part is picked from one of the DZ’s of the pick\\drop zone, AGV will continue to pick parts only from DZ’s which are part of the Pick\\Drop Zone until the Task is complete. Once the task is complete, AGV is free to pick parts from any other DZ.

Now I can get the result what I want.

Thank you.
