Hi all,
I am loading various SKUs into my rack via a forklift into painted slots. In my file I have added here I only have 2 SKUs and a few slots on my rack but the final simulation will have a lot more SKUs and also a rack slot for each one. What I'm stuck on is the unloading of the rack, I only want to unload each SKU when there are 5 boxes of that particular SKU in the rack and then wait until another SKU has 5 boxes in the rack before unloading that SKU. If there are 7 boxes in the rack for example it should still only unload 5.
In my process flow I have tried using this query in "Find Item":
WHERE product == $1.product AND item.slot.slotItems.length >= 5
Sometimes it will start out just like I want it to, but then it more or less starts unloading randomly, I'm guessing I'm doing it all wrong. Seeing as each SKU is assigned to a slot I was trying to do something along the lines of using "Find Slot" and saying when there are 5 boxes in that slot then unload, but I haven't been successful so far.
If it makes any difference my task executioner (forklift in this demo) can carry 5 items at once. I will probably just use a basicTE as it will be putting the boxes onto a conveyor.
I hope my question makes sense and someone can point me in the right direction.
