storage limit vs source random produce

Tentativa_1.fsm

Hey,

In my project I am creating random items where I make the distribution to different warehouses.

However, I am having difficulty distributing it evenly.

For example, I have a source that sends 3 types of items with different values to various stores:

red = 1, green = 2, blue = 3, yellow = 4, depending on the source. Destination warehouses are limited, however when a destination warehouse reaches its limit, the source stops producing items, and therefore does not reach the numbers of the remaining warehouses

The problem is the sources are being blocked. You could increase the 'Deposito' queue size to more than 1, have the task executer take items with no room at the destination to a sink, or use some other kind of logic that checks if the destination is full and stops creating items of that type if it is full (this would take more work).

Hi,

So far i did this way.. It works, it creates the items and the agv leaves them in the dropp point. My question is if there is other way to do it without doing if cycles.

Thanks.

Do you already know how many items of each type are ever going to be in the model? You could replace the sources with process flow that creates all the objects and randomly assigns them to a queue. This way, you can specify how many of each type you want, and you could do without the 'if' statements. You will need to change the 'destino' label assignment from the source to the queue. You can also change the times for the process flow source and delay for when the objects are created. I've attached the model with some process flow that could work.

Hello, it would be possible to make an example filling the warehouses with random values like 3,4,5,6 to understand the system.
