Solved: Make items staying place on racks

[ FlexSim 24.1.0 ]

I have a simulation in which I create items on a rack, and then an operator take a specific item from this one.

Altough, I would like that items stored in racks, when the operator take the flowitem, does not change position and stay in place.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks for everyone who will reply at this post 🙂

You can deactivate this bevahiour in the Storage System properties (found in toolbox after a storage object was added to the model).

Thank you so much Felix <3, but I have another doubt that I would like to ask to you!

If I have a tote with some boxes inside it, how can I take or put the products inside without moving it, directly adding them into the tote?

If you want the item to stay you have to create something else for the operator to pickupsupermercato_new object.fsm

If you load/move an item from inside the tote, the tote should not move. Similarly, if you unload to the tote, it will also not move.

It all just a question of refering to individual items inside the tote. How that can best be achieved will depend on what you have build so far.

In general, lists are a powerful tool to manage inventory.

And how can I put an item inside the tote, without moving it from the rack?

Similar to how I used "Create Object" to create an object inside the rack.
