Spesific conveyor for racks

Hello,

How can i clarify via Global Table the output of the Racks? For example i want the rack 201 and 202 to leave pallets in the conveyor 90. I tried to do so in the model below but didnt work.

Why does it need to be a table?


I'd also suggest you create an aisle object with two racks the transporter and the conveyors (with pointer labels or output connections) and then just copy that as many times as you need or use it as a Template for the other Aisles. All this 'manual modelling' and setting up tables is inefficient.

I have tried the output connections but it doesnt work in my model because everything is working with process flow. I also tried to do so with groups (entry transfer) in the area "Run Subflow unload" in forklift process flow, but didnt work either. That why i wanted to do so with global table

The connections or labels would just be a way to reference each conveyor - like you reference the transporter from the rack centerport connection. I don't advise using multiple centre port connections - a label on the racks or a single output connection from each is better.

In the attached model I have:

  • added output connections from the racks to the entry transfer of each conveyor
  • set the racks to not release items
  • removed the navigator from each asrs
  • changed the asrs Unload activity to refer to the destination as the rack's outobject.
