Pulling Pallets from Racks

Good afternoon,

I am trying to get pallets to pull out of a rack using a list and I can't seem to get it to work. I have pallets coming in on trucks and allocating to racks. When the pallets go into the racks, I send them to a list. Now I want to pull around 10-14 pallets every 8 hours out of the racks and place them in a staging area. I get an error on the load task, and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I have looked for other posts regarding this and haven’t found a solution.

I attached a model with this area isolated. I am still new to FlexSim, and this part of my first real model, so I apologize if I'm missing something very simple, or if there is an easier way to do this.

Thanks,

Jim

You're trying to pull an array of film tokens not the pallets.

You can instead call a subtask to reference the film tokens and pallets as shown in the attached model. You should do something similar for the unload activity.

Thanks, this worked for me. I'm not sure I understand why, but it works.
