warehouse storage amount help

Hello,

In my attached model, I have 3 colored boxes that gets created by each source and the amount is the same for each, I put 154 for green, 29 for blue and 11 for red (daily numbers) into the arrival schedule table in the source. Although it creates the colored boxes, the correct amount doesn't gets stored in the storage areas, when I run it to a day, I was wondering if there is a way to fix this? So, that the daily numbers stored within these storage areas equal the numbers I mentioned above. Also, there is a error within my console that comes up, what is that and how can I fix it ?

Thank you for your time and consideration!

Hi @Navode W,

I have been looking over your model and have found a couple of things that can help you. One of the reasons why not all of the items are being stored is that your processors take too long to process all of the items in a day. Each processor takes 10 minutes to process a single item. With there being 194 items that would take 1940 minutes just to process them all. You only have 1440 minutes of processing time. By changing the time it takes to process a single item you can make sure that your processor can handle all of your items.

The next issue regarding storage is that your floor storages, do not have enough space set aside to store all of the items. By using the Pain Slot Labels tool in the Library you can add more storage spaces for each type of item. Here is a link to a answer that explains more about slot storeage.

I also noticed that some of your logic for opening and closing the ports to different floor storages sometimes locked the transporters out and stopped your processors from running. You will need to check to make sure that your logic is keeps the ports open. I have attached some pictures of the arrival schedule logic I set up, and the logic that sets the color of the items as they are created. If you have any more questions feel free to ask.
