Hello everyone,

Is it possible to use combiner in order to batch 4 items vertically ( for instance : back cover, pcb, fuse and front cover) to form one final product, please?

I would appreciate any help on this matter !!

Thanks a lot

It is a matter of stacking algorithm. If sizes are matching a standard stacking fulfills this.

@Farah A, a container item has got an activated stacking algorithm. A stacking algorithm sets locations of new entered items. You can realize this by an own logic for standard items, too. It is just easier with a container item like a pallet or a tote.

The combiner only controls the number of items collected through each input port. The visual stacking depends on the stacking method assigned to the container item that enters through port 1. (If the "base" item is not a container item, you would have to set the items' locations in the triggers of the combiner.

You can create custom stacking methods in the Flow Item Bin.
