Transporter utilization rate

Hi, I'm new to the usage of the dashboards and everything associated (statistics etc). I read the articles about this in the flexsim site but it didn't seem user friendly. Anyhow I'm trying to make a table with the average utilization rate of the transporters, I read something about using a calculated table but I don't know if it's right for this case.

I already put some charts in my dashboard, one with the output from the machines and to bar charts with the time to load and unload.

It would be great if I could link the simulation with one excel file updated automatically and then work from there.

I hope someone can help me with this.

The average utilization of objects is part of the "State" chart.

Thank you @Felix Möhlmann. I also need to see the input of each machine for each type of material, is there any pre-made chart?

"Output By Type" can track the number, but it will sum up the values for all objects attached to it. (And yes, technically it's output and not input, but in most cases that doesn't make a difference)

I added a custom Statistics Collector to the attached model that allows you to see the data for each tracked object (Group "Input By Type Objects") separately.

mlall-teste-input-bytype-byobject-fm.fsm

If you've read up on the Statistics Collector then the way it functions should hopefully be understandable.

Thank you that work flawlessly. In the meantime I putted some milestones to measure how much time the transporter takes to load and unload the queues (since the token gets the task) but I needed to identify the machines to which he is loading/unloading.

I supposed I should use the StatisticCollector as before?
