Hi, I have a model where I want to show the pallet status whether it is empty or not by creating label.
once the box is present in pallet it should show full pallet. once box is removed it should show empty pallet status. How can I assign it.
Pallet label
FlexSim 20.0.10
For what purpose do you want to use the label? As I see it, if you have access to the label, you must also have access to the object itself, so why not just read the content directly whenever you need it?
Having a label seems unnecessarily complicated. Because I can't think of a general event that would indicate the last item leaving. To update the label you would have to check the content each time an item is removed from the pallet.

Hello @mary,
You can add a label to the FlowItem. Then in the model you can add triggers that set the value to 1 for Full and 0 for empty at times you know the pallet is being filled and emptied.
Another way to access and see if the pallet has contents is
Pallet.subnodes.length
Pallet is the reference to the pallet
subnodes is the array what is contained in the pallet
length returns the length of the array which is also the number of items contained in the pallet
Hi
@Jeanette F where shall i add the Pallet.subnodes.length in my model
Currently, I would just use the first option of the label because I am not sure what you are wanting accomplish with the information.
The script I gave you was just in case you found that useful.
