Can someone figure out how to schedule arrivals for different products

We have this distribution center model. The first day, racks are filled up by the default and there is no problem. From the second day and on, 7 differents products arrive and need to be taken to their rack. How can we make this? For example, product 1 arrives monday from 10:00 to 12:00 pm, product 2 arrives monday from 12:00 to 14:00 and so on

The simple answer is a time scheduled source activity for each different Type in process flow. A create object activity puts created items in a 3D queue. This queue acts as a source in your model.
