Hi,
I need some ideas how can I model suck logic:
I have one forklift that unloads the truck and load it again once the product had spent its cycle time.
As illustrated bellow, I want the forklift to unload and load the truck in the order 1, 2, 3, 4.
How can i get the forklift to travel each time to specific locations (1, 2, 3, 4)where it will load/unload the item.
Thanks

A floor storage object with default settings should give you that behaviour out of the box, assuming each cell only has space for one item.
If you want to reverse the order, you can either rotate the floor storage 180°, or change the bay progression direction under Address Mapping.
See the attached model for an example of this behaviour.
Thanks @Allister Wilson
How can i get to this result using process flow? I tried to adapt your idea to my model but the result is not satisfying. I want the products to be rolled on all the bays.
Your model is currently missing this piece of the puzzle :
assuming each cell only has space for one item
Two options :
1. Adjust the size : setting the Z size of the floor storage to be less than 2 stacked pallets ensures only one pallet per slot
2. Alternatively a more robust approach : configure the storage to ignore item size and simply allow one item per slot in all cases
With either of these approaches, pallets will be assigned to consecutive slots in the storage.
