Help with process flow

assignment1-model1-copy-jf-1 (2).fsm I am trying the get the robot in my simulation to take the labeled bottles from conveyor and bring it to its assigned rack (there are two racks), but not release it. The robot should hold the bottle at the rack for 5 seconds and then release it onto another conveyor. I have attached my model with only one rack.

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.2.3

Hello @zb,

You can replace the unload at the rack activity with a travel to location activity.

assignment1-model1-copy-jf-1-2-1 (1).fsm I don't believe that answers my question. I started off with one rack but I have just added a second one. I don't need the robot to physically travel anywhere. The robot just needs to transport the assigned pill bottles to their matching slot on either rack but not release onto the rack and instead hold for 5 seconds. I have attached my model.

Hello @zb,

In the original model, the robot knew to move it's arm to the rack by the unloading task. Since you do not want to unload a move/travel task is more appropriate.

In the case of having two racks, you can create a label that assigns the coordinates based on what rack is assigned. Then those labels are used in the travel task.
