Order picking using process flow not working

warehouse-demo-model_layout_yangbum (3).fsmHi all, my simulation is a warehouse of my company, I'm currently facing 2 issues

1. My operators stop at 3pm when i run my simulation

2. Outbound order picking order using process flow not working. I want the orders to be picked have a same number of quantity and same type from racks. ( I want the order picker to load items from racks to the QC label area)

current process flow



I'm doing a current state of the warehouse to do improvements. the Future state will be using robot hands and movable racks. If you guys have any models for reference please send thanks.

Hello, Vincent:
The issue with the outbound is that the tags are inverted:

the tokens that go through find object don't have any label named "Type", they have a label product, so that is what you have to put in the $1. And the boxes in the storage dont have a label product, they have the label Type, so that is what you need to write in the query, as you can see in the image.

Besides, I have seen that here are several products that cannot be found because they are being created in the pallets.

I hope this helps you.
