Rotate pallets stored in rack

Hi,

I am storing pallets in a rack via robot. Is there a simple way to rotate the pallets? Right now they get stored longitudinally, which is visually weird.

Thank you!

Can you post your model? The answer can depend on what you've implemented and where.

Hi,

If you are using process flow, you can use the activity Change Visuals in order to rotate the pallet as you can see in the example i've attached.

Try to change Z rotation to see how it affects.

If you're testing if the slot has space then the changing of the visual needs to be before the FindSlot activity - and if you do that in your model you'll find that, correctly, none of the slots have space. This is why I asked to see the OP's implementation.

Yes, that's true. Then we need to know how it's implemented to give a more correct solution, as you said.


Thanks, Jason.
