How can I animate task executer or queue as a cart with operator?

I want to move flowitem from processor 1 to move in a cart to processor 2. The operator 1 loads the cart (max quantity is 20 item/cart). He then moves the cart to processor 2 and places it there. Now operator 2 then comes in collects the flowitem from the cart and loads into processor 2.

By the way I am using Flexsim 19.0.0 version so there is no prop for cart. I want to use either queue or task executer as cart (I will change the shape to cart).

Software Version:

FlexSim 19.0.0

Hi Ali,

I'm not a 100% sure if it's available on the version you're currently using, but there should be some cart objects available in the 3D Objects Library tab, People section, Equipment.

Hi Paula,

Thanks for commenting, well there are cart (Cleaning, equipment holder) but not the cart that is being used to transport goods. Can you help me out on it.

Hi Ali,

Eventhough the cart objects aren't specifically built for transporting goods, you can put the flowitem inside them using a "Move Object" activity in Process Flow. Alternatively, you can also load it with the operator and unload it into the cart. In both cases you will have to adjust its location for better visual performance.

I would advise you to build a logic implementing that and the "Move equipment" activity to move the cart around using an operator.

I hope it helps!
