Crane unload on queue by label

Hello,

in my model i have palletizer. On the line are 9 types of boxes and I would like to trough the Global table decide: 1) Number of boxes of each type will be created

2) each box type should by unloaded by crane on specific queue. For example Item.type value 1 should be unloaded by crane on queue 12 (in my model its queue "A1").

layout_origin_autosave.fsm

I don't know how the crane can unload box by label on specified queue by global table.Thank you very much.

You need a way to get a reference to the queue through the global table. Either add another column that contains pointers to the target queues or rename the queues so you can use the name in the row header to find the specific object in the model.

// Use Row Header As Object Name
int row = Table("type box").getRowByKey(token.Product.Type, "TYPE");
return Model.find(Table("type box").getRowHeader(row));

// Use Pointer Value In Table
return Table("type box").getValueByKey(token.Product.Type, "Queue", "TYPE");
