Problem with Task Sequence TS

Hello everybody!

I have a problem with the sequence of tasks. The idea of this small model should be: generate an arrival of boxes in the Queue, then forklift goes to pick up the boxes that were generated and transports them to the FloorStorage.

Then, the operator should perform an inspection process to all the boxes placed in the FloorStorage. How can I make the operator perform an inspection process after the forklift finishes placing the products in the FloorStorage?

First you need a slot and / or slotitem label to lock an item before inspection Is done. Whenever you try to find or query slotitems to retrieve them, you check if they are ready for leaving and an inspection has been finished.
Secondly when an item has entered a slot you push upon this event the involved item to a list. This list can be a simple list of items or in an advanced approach a list of inspection tasksequences. You pull from this list a value to let an operator do an inspection. An inspection consists of travel to item task, do a delay task in a state of something similar like inspection and finally a travel to a terminal to enter inspection results. If this inspection result is positiv, you change slot or slotitem label value to be retrievable. If a result is negativ, you build a process which deals with negativ tested items.
