How to use global list building From-To table?

Hey guys:

We want to build a AGV simulation model ,which can sent cargos from 3 racks to each other. We trying to use global list ,but we found that one road need one global list ,if we want to extend our model ,that would be too much global list…

For example,if we have 3 rack , we need 3(3 rack)*2(2 road)=6 global list to control AGV

Is there any possible to use one global list in one rank or less global list to build from to table?

Like goods from different places to the same place .

The following is an example model but there may be some problems.

You can use a single list that is partitioned by a combination of the origin and destination. (All items are on one list but in separate sections/partitions)

Each rack is then set to pull items from its respective partition. To view the partition ID field you have to expand the GUI by clicking on the arrow symbol in the bottom right.

Note that you can can only pull from a single partition at a time. For more complex logic (an item can go to more than one location, for example) you would have to use labels and queries instead.
