Hello @Linh Thị NN, are you absolutely sure, that you must build your model within FlexSim 19.0 and you are NOT allowed to use 19.2, because in 19.2 you have the NEW feature of WAREHOUSING? This feature would make it much more easier to handle aisle operations. Who tells you, you have to build a model with FlexSim 19.0? Thanks Jörg

Hi @Jörg Vogel, i mean i am using flexsim ver 19.0.0 . I have not updated to 19.2 ver. It is not compulsory for me to use only 19.0.0 ver. Can you suggest any idea for my issue? Thank you so much.

I don't quite understand what you want to achieve.

  1. I set the Send To Port property in the exit transfers of the conveyors to use random available port.
  2. I inserted two additional network nodes, whiich allows th e transporter to travel from the opposite side of the racks to load items.
  3. I rotated every second rack by 180 degrees that the first items of a rack cell are placed to side where the transporter will load them. But this is only a suitable approach at the model run start, because as longer the model runs the standard place in Bay and place in Level algrithm will fill up empty spaces anyway.
