Question on template “AGV with Basic Parking”

Hi,

I am making a simple AGV system with template “AGV with Basic Parking”.

In the system, the AGV moves between two Queues moving boxes. If Queue1 has no item to move, the AGV goes to the park point. The problem is that the AGV cannot get back to work when a new box is entered into the Queue1. The token on Activity “Wait for an Item to Load” in Parking cannot pull any task because token.cp is connected to Queue2, and Queue2 does not generate any task. Am I misunderstanding the template? I attached the file(SimpleAGV.fsm).

The work must become available at the point from which the AGV travelled to the park point. That is how the "AGV with basic parking" template is designed. For this model it would be sufficient to forward the work to the CP connected to Queue2 and also have the AGV start there. (Starting at the park point would require NextWorkPoint connections leading from the park point to the Queue2-CP which would make the AGV move away from the park point immediately anyway. So I don't see much of a point in having it start the simulation there).
