Floor Storage will allow item to enter. Why?

Operator delivers pallet to storage but then an error message appears. Why? See Attached filetest-floor-storage.fsm

Hi @Marc K,

You had a triple combination of logic trying to do the same thing. If we simplify it so only one piece of logic is controlling everything, it will run smoother. Let me explain.

First, you had the 3D object logic telling the operator to move the box from Queue1 to FloorStorage1.

Second, you had a token acquiring an operator and telling it to move an item from Queue1 to FloorStorage1.

Third, you had a loop, meaning that every single token would try to expire the entire list of objects before moving on.

I would suggest picking one of these pieces of logic and then deleting the rest. I set up 3 different examples that could work.

Example 1 is just the 3D objects' logic:

Example 2 is just the Process Flow (with no loop):

Example 3 is a Process Flow loop:

Hopefully this helps show the differences between each approach to logic.
