Model of an AGV transportation system where container gets filled from tanks.
The AGVs transport the container (flowitem) and follows the material flow defined the a global table DataTable.
This data can modified in the global table or in the Model Control GUI.
The stations are the tanks (1,2,3,5,6 and 7), the transfer point (4), which is a queue ,from the first to the second AGV and the Source (8).
The filling speed and amount to collect from a tank is also defined in the global table.
The tanks and the container on the AGV have a level indicator to show the current amount.
The nice thing about the model is that it is done with the "standard" ports and not using tasksequences to let the AGV travel.
So the flowitem (container) is just send from one station to the next station.
In the moment three different item types with three different routes are defined.
Attention:
Do not delete or rename the object LogoFlexsimD, because otherwise the model will not work correctly. Also do not rename, delete or rerank other objects.
