Place items on pallet till certain amount

Hello,

I am working in a large model to place items on a pallet. However, I am not getting what I want done. Here is a test version where I am getting stuck. What I want:

- First the forklift places an empty pallet on the floorstorage

- Then the forklift placing boxes on a pallet (many different ones, now there are only 2 but in my model 59)

- When there are 200 boxes on the pallet, the pallet must go to the conveyor belt

- Then a new pallet is placed on the floorstorage again on which 200 boxes must be placed

test_place_items_on_pallet.fsm

And this loop must keep repeating.

Thanks in advance!

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.1.2

Since moving items to the pallet hinges on there being a pallet I would suggest the following:

Push the items onto list. The token that moved the pallet to the storage then runs through a subflow 200 times, each time pulling an item and transporting it to the pallet. Then the token continues and has the transporter move the pallet to the conveyor.

The screenshot is only a mockup, but the final Process Flow would look something like this.

Hi, thanks for the answer. I don't understand the subflow when you use a subflow and with what token? Can you maybe add the file?
