Palletizing at different levels (Paletización a diferentes niveles)

Hello, I would like to know how I could palletize four types of boxes using the combiner and a table. The combine has to palletize boxes at different levels. Each level has to be separated by a different item and each level only allows one type of box within the 4.


Hola, me gustaría saber como podría paletizar cuatro tipos de caja haciendo uso del combiner y una tabla. El combinar tiene que paletizar cajas a diferentes niveles. Cada nivel tiene que estar separado por un ítem diferente y cada nivel solo permite un tipo de caja dentro de las 4.

Is this layer stacking with a separation sheet?

Yes, there would have to be a separator for each level change and the reading of the item to the combiner is from a table

A combiner is quite simple object. It combines items in the order they arrive.
First there is container item. This enters the combiner as first item through input port one. Then you have to manage the entrance to the combiner of other items in the order they must be packed. 4 items, a separator item, 4 items, a separator, 4 items and so on.
you can for example pull from input ports from a queue in round robin fashion. A source for one box type is connected to a queue called for example collector. The 5th input port is connected to a source to provide separator items. Another source creates items of a different kind. 4 connections are going to collector queue. Each of involved sources send items in function send to port by round robin method. The combiner must only accept the right total amount of items from this collector queue.

This is probably better done with an object process flow than a combiner's default options - it will be easier to understand/debug and more transparent to anyone new to your model.

You could make an example of a palletization of 4 products and a separator for each level change, reading from a table or using process flow.

We encourage students to try for themselves rather than do their work for them. You can also look for examples on this site and post your attempt with specific questions if you get stuck.

el problema esta en ubicar el separador entre los niveles, todo lo demás esta bien
