How to put several items in a tote?

Hey guys

I'm trying to put several items in a tote which is on the combiner. I want to use process flow for this work but since I'm very beginner of flexsim, this is quite hard for me.

There are two kinds of items which is come from different queue. I wanna put five of product_1 in one tote, and two of produce_2 in another tote separately. And then send it to rack.

It would be appreciated if one of you guys help me.

Regards

I do not recommend to use a combiner with process flow. A combiner is classic 3d object. There exists a process flow processor object, that suits more to be controlled by process flow.

If you want to pack items into totes and change the recipe, then you find a suitable approach in the On Entry trigger of the combiner. "Update Combiner Component List by Labels".

Classic 3D without Process Flow approach:

Create totes with label Type, which value gets alternating a value of 1, 2.

Trigger Tab > On Creation > Set Label - value:

current.stats.output.value%2+1

Recipe Global Table

	Type 1	Type 2
input Port 2	5	0
INPUT port 3	0	2

Combiner Triggers Tab > On Entry > Update Combiner Component List by Labels
