picking-specific-item-type.fsm
In the attached model two operators pick items from a source queue and put into the storage rack.
After storage the items are withdrawn and put into destination rack.
I am not able to specify the item type, and quantity to be withdrawn from the rack at a particular time.
I am looking for a logic that will make the operators withdraw certain quantity of selected item type at mentioned time.
Thank You.
Hi,
Based on your question I have created a sample mode:
Initially, At time 0 the model creates 24 items that contain( 5 red boxes,8 green boxes,5 blue boxes and 6 yellow boxes).
When the box reaches the storage rack I will push the item to a list (itemList1).
At time 10 I will create a token label ("content") that contains how many boxes of each item type should be loaded by an operator.
Based on the Quantity marked in the label the operator will collect the item and placed it in Destination_Queue.
I have used Run Sub Flow concept to make the operator to load and unload the required quantity of boxes
I have attached the sample model for your reference, if you have any doubt on the model attach a command I will look into it
Because you don't know when an item has to be sent at the moment it is entering the object, you don't send the item to any port. When an event occurs on that you know that an item must go to the next object you release the item through the port the next object is connected. If you need the item leaving later, you send a delayed message. The approach is described at this answer.
