I'm using Process Flow to make a transporter pick up items from a queue and take them to a rack. I want to expand the model now so that the transporter takes the items to 3 racks. How do I do that?
How to send items to multiple Fixed Resources in Process Flow?
FlexSim 16.0.1
An easy way to do this would be to use a Fixed Resource list. In the attached model I have the 3 racks push themselves on a Fixed Resource list using the pickoption in their Pull Strategy field. The Process Flow then pulls from the Fixed Resource list when determining where it should go.
I updated the model so that the transporter checks how many open spots there are before pulling the rack off the list. To do this I had to add an expression field (openSpots) to the Fixed Resource list (double click on FRList1 in the Toolbox). I also added a query to the "Pull Rack" Pull from List activity that says: WHERE openSpots >= puller.number.
I would like to know if it is possible to make the transporter unload all the 50 boxes in 1 movement, cause he is putting the items on my rack one by one even if he already has 50 boxes on him.
@Matheus Rosa do you still need an answer to this last question?
