Operator does not move

Hello,

The attached model is a representation of a big warehouse that stores 100 SKU's. The process flow seems to be correct as i created a small sample of the warehouse to see if the model runs. In my final project i noticed that the operator does not moves but i havent found a mistake.

Hi,

I ran your model and from what I can see the processFlow that is handling the operator isn't getting anything to process. Your operator is moving initially to the buffer but then the operator isn't given anything to do because the token is sitting waiting to pull something off the "operator_picking" list. It looks as though you are missing a "push to list" for "on entry" to the buffer. If you do an "on entry" to the buffer and push the box to the list the operator should then take the box to the processor for processing.

Hello @Forrest W and thank you for your answer. I created "on entry" on the buffer and it seems to work but the operator only runs the first order. Am i missing something else?ReachTrucks.fsm

When looking at your processFlow you are pulling the boxes off of the pallet in a quantity that is not consistent with the quantity that is on the pallet. Therefore, in your SubFlow "Run Sub Flow Pick" the Load trigger shouldn't read token.pulled.up and I'm assuming you only want the items pulled to be moved not the pallet that they are on. So replace the token.pulled.up with token.pulled in the item field. This should load just the items that are pulled to be processed on the processor1. And the unload should be token.pulled as well for the item field.
