ATs dont get called by Dispatcher
Posted: Wednesday 06 July, 2016 - 16:03
Hi:
I am modelling a cross docking distribution center, to know how many AGVs would be needed.
I am using the standard Disptacher to call the Advanced Transporters.
However, when the queues are getting full, the Dispatcher is not serving the tasks to free/idle transporters.
When are events created in the dispatcher? I would suppose that:
1-when a product enters the queue
2-when a product leaves the queue (for the next one)
But as you can see (advance till hour 6 or more), the queues keep filling with ATs idle. The model is looking for the first free transporter (FFT), and, interestingly, the ones that are left idle are AGV12, 13, 14, 15 (connected to cannel 12, 13, 14, 15).
If I change the logic in the midel of the run to LFT, then those starte receiving tasks...but the ones left idle are connected to channels 1,2,3 !!!
Thanks
