Hello everyone!
I'm currently a student and working on our capstone project. I recently learned about FlexSim and been scanning through flexsim answers which helped me a lot in building up my desired system. However, the last portion of the simulation caused me some trouble.
So, I've been trying to figure out how to transfer labeled pallets placed on multiple-floor storage to their corresponding queue but in a sequence.
Current situation:
1. The pallets that are on the floor storage are grouped by label. For example, all Pallet1 are placed floorstorage1, Pallet2 in floorstorage2 and so on.
2. Using a forklift, I'd like to transfer FIRST all pallets placed on floorstorage1 to Queue1 and reach a batch of 60 before proceeding to floorstorage2 to Queue2 etc.
I've tried using the "decide" and "batch" features on the process flow and won't work the way I'd like it to. I also tried connecting ports to all the floorstorages to a forklift and another port from each floorstorage to their corresponding queue, but still won't work. I've based these options by combining my knowledge from the following links:
https://answers.flexsim.com/questions/46228/how-to-perform-a-prioritization-for-arrivals-in-qu.html -(This is very close to my desired system however the port on this demo is only connected from 1 Queue separated to 2 Queues. So, I've tried placing a port from all floorstorages to the forklift and another port from floorstorage1 to Queue1, floorstorage2 to Queue2 etc. and won't work)

(This is another source I've tried checking where one of the queues accepts all type1 boxes first, then proceed with the next)
If someone can possibly provide me with a brief demo in a more simplified approach, I would really appreciate it! If not, any tips or advice that can assist me with my situation will also do!
Thank you in advance.
