Hi all!
I'm a new Flexsim user and I've been dealing with building a model.
I have several questions regarding the transportation of pallets (with boxes) to a system of conveyors.
My case is the following: I have a group of floor storages that have pallets with boxes. These floor storages are constantly filled. A group of 4 forklifts must be in charge of collecting the pallets with boxes (it can collect 1 pallet with boxes per trip) and taking them to a group of queues that are connected with conveyor belts that make them go through a process.
And the conveyors system looks like this:
Additionally, after the forklift leaves a pallet in one of these queues connected to conveyors, it must remove them from an exit queue (it can pick up only 1 pallet too) and leave them on racks. And repeat the process again.
I already have the part set up where the floor storages are filled with pallets, but what I can't get is for the forklift group to remove these pallets with boxes from the floorstorages to the queues that are connected with the conveyor belts.
I have made multiple attempts in process flow that include using lists and find item but they didn't work well. I think I must use them but I got stuck and I couldn't do it.
These are some of my attempts:
In this one I wanted to create something similar to a sub flow, but I didn't do it right. And I think my decide didn't work very well too. Find item helped me to find the pallets, but I didn't know how to specify the floorstorages instead of the racks.
Here I tried with an event trigered source. I think this process is better, but the problem was that the tokens never went to aquire transporter. Probably there was a problem with the source or the list?
If someone can possibly provide me with a brief demo in a simplified approach of this process, I would really appreciate it! If not, any tips or advice that can assist me with my situation will also do!
