Using paint slot labels to set inventory location

Hello FlexSim community,

I want to determine the warehouse location for different items using the color of the boxes and the 'paint slot labels' function. I have created four different items, with different colors, and marked them in floor storage as well. I am trying to get the start inventory and the incoming items from the ship to be placed in the correct location according to the colors. I am attaching the model.

I appreciate any help! Thank you!

@Student_loging you need to change the create object to be in the model then you use find slot activity then move object. (you can use one process flow instead of multiple and the find slot will do the job)

Thank you so much for the response. However I'm not able to get it right. Could you please attach the file you worked in. My tokens stops at find slot, and won't move forward.

@Student_loging if the tokens stop at find slot means that token.Type is not assigned if you go to source (pink) assign label Type with number 8. and make sure other labels are the same
