Hello @luis_rodrigues ,
In the forum you have many examples of what you are asking, with different complexities. I recommend you to take a look at this example:
Example Model: Opportunistic Parts Combiner Process (no ports) - FlexSim Community
I hope I have been helpful.
@José Antonio MD Can you help me integrate that example with my model?
Your model doesn't need to be nearly as complex. Since you have a schedule, you don't need the "opportunistic" part of the logic which makes up the vast majority.
The schedule can be copied as is into a Schedule Source. The queues should assign labels to the item to identify their type and then push them to a global list.
In Process Flow, the tokens first acquire the combiner object, then pull the needed quantity of items from the list, move them to the combiner and wait until the process time has elapsed.
Thanks @Felix Möhlmann that was a really good help. Now I only need to make my transporter work.
I was able to make it move but I need for it to load all batches at once, for example the first order has 79 batch and the transporter should only travel to the combiner one time.
Another thing is that when released it should get back to the first position.
Hope you could help me
Combining is moving an item into another. You need a move object activity. And you need a reference of a container item to become your destination and a reference you want to move.
Anything else is “nice to have” like a process time which is a delay. Or you want to set a location of packed item in relation to your container item, then you choose an visual activity.
