How to set Unload at the truck.

Hello everyone, I need help. I don't want Unload transporters to queue at item 3 but change to Unload the Item at trucks instead.

out.fsm Is there a way to make this logic true? Thank you in advance for help.

You already have a Travel To and Unload activity in your Process flow, so you just need to point it at the Truck instead of Queue3 right?

So to get a reference to the Truck, one way could be to have the Trucks, once created, pushed to a list. Then in your unloading Process Flow logic, just have the token pull the Truck from the list to get a reference to it, and then just call the Travel to and Unload activities on the Truck instead of Queue3.

Hi @Sam Stubbs Is this something you recommend me?

If yes, I have set this up, but there is a little problem: the truck receives both items. I want the truck to receive only one type of item. How can I solve this problem?

@joey

If you do as Sam suggested and pull a truck from a list or if you acquire a truck from a group of truck resources, having trucks receive only one type of item shouldn't be a problem. Each transporter will go to its own truck and not mix item types. You could combine your "Truck Transportation" process flow and the process flow controlling the transporters so that when a transporter pulls items of a certain type, it unloads them all onto its own truck.

HI @Joseph Gillespie I do not understand how I have to process the flow of the truck and how to control the flow of the car. Can you explain more or have examples so that I understand more? Thank you.
