How to Center a Box on a Pallet When Exiting a Combiner?

Hello FlexSim Community,

I am working on a Combiner where:

  • Input 1 is a pallet.
  • Input 2 is a box that should be placed on top of the pallet.

When the pallet enters the Combiner, I want to ensure that the box is centered on the pallet. I tried adjusting positions manually, but the box does not align correctly.capture.jpg

I would appreciate any guidance or example scripts to achieve this. Thanks in advance!

When the item enterst the combiner it is placed on the pallet which has its own placement logic. Any logic you implement to change the location must wait until this has run its course or it would adjust the location of the box again.

A simple solution is a small Process Flow: Wait until an item enters the combiner through port 2, set a delay of 0s so the default logic has time to finish, then adjust the location.

You could also change the packing logic of the pallet to place the item like you want in the first place.
