how to schedule departure times

Greetings community, can someone help me? I have this small problem and I can't find the appropriate solution.

I want to represent the mobilization of being able to move a certain amount of pallets from the warehouse on the floor with a TrasnporTer towards the exit queues. The following source represents I want to move according to the label and at the established schedule.

The carriers are already represented by colors that can only work in that queue, leave the pallets and can choose from the warehouse on the floor, the first to arrive and the first to leave according to the established schedule.

Each pallet already has a label with that label, I want to move according to time ''

PROYECT 1.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.2.2

Can you tell us why and what you need so we can better understand and improve our help to you? You deleted a number of posts where we further explained how to use a datetime source (which is why I reposted one should others find this post).

Maybe you need to do some tutorials since your process flow is ill-configured/conceived.

Your source should generate tokens, not have tokens enter it. The quantity should be non-zero. You should not have duplicate label names ('destination'). Your 'Pull from list' loop doesn't have any supply of tokens to invoke the process. You don't need a case statement on your queues' sendtoport - what you have is just the same as returning item.destination.

To answer the generation question specficially - you can have multiple rows with the same time interval - one for each destination,and have a quantity created for each - but you can't leave the quantity field blank as you show in your example.

The quantity in the arrival table of a datetime source will be spaced randomly in the interval (Start-End) you specify by selecting "Randomly Spaced" for the Arrival Spacing option. Furthermore you can an an array of values to one label if needed:
