Forklift travel order help

Hi,

In my model, I want to make my forklifts(transporters) 1b and 2b to load the boxes into coolers 6 and 7 after the forklifts 1a and 2a are done with coolers 4 and 5(full), how can I make this possible? Currently in my attached model, all the forklifts work at the same time. Does it have to do something with triggers?

Most updated 2.2.fsm

Thank You for your time and help!

Hello @Navode W,

Triggers is a great idea for accomplishing this. I would set an on reset trigger to close the output port on either the sources or processors that connect to coolers 6 and 7. Then set an on entry trigger on the last cooler to be filled of coolers 4 and 5. The trigger will open the ports you previously had closed with the condition that the cooler is full. The condition to check that the cooler is full would look something like the following.

current.subnodes.length >= 420; //note the number would be the number of items in the storage for it to be considered full.

Hello @Jeanette F , Thank you for your swift reply. I added the reset triggers to processors (VC 1b and 2b), the ones that connect to coolers 6 and 7. The last cooler to be filled with coolers 4 and 5 according to the simulation is 4c, I added an on entry trigger to this cooler and now in my model, the coolers 6 and 7 doesn't get filled at all. Can you please check if I added the triggers correctly, I would very much appreciate if you'd help me fix this issue ?

Here is my most recent model

Hello @Navode W,

You need to specify what object you are opening the output for. In this case it would be the processors 1b and 2b.
