Output of items from the Rack with to statistical distribution

BODEGA PT VAND CON SALIDA Nth.fsm

Good afternoon,

My query is about how I can configure the output of items (or time of permanence of items) according to a statistical distribution and not randomly.

I have used the "Different Time for Nth Item" function for 1st item the others come out randomly.

I attach the model, in which an ID of each item is configured for its location in the respective rack.

Hello @Pablo M9,

You can set the minimum dwell time of a rack to be a statistical distribution.

Hello @Jeanette F,

Yes, I have tried, but only the first unit of the item respects the time according to the distribution, the following units of each item no longer leave the rack according to the distribution

Hello @Pablo M9,

The dwell time for each product starts when it enters the rack. When an item leaves it is because it has met that time. You can more easily see this with a larger span of times possible from the statistical distribution.
