How to make ASRS to load specific item type and quantity in pallet

Hello,

I have a model where ASRS will load item in pallet . The problem which i was facing is, i want the ASRS to load the box with specific quantity and with specific item type in pallet based on the pallet item type

NOTE (here red color is item type 1,green color is item type 2, blue color is item type 3, yellow color is item type 4)

For example:

* if red color pallet arrives , The ASRS should load two red box, one yellow box, and one green box from the rack

*if green color pallet arrives , the ASRS should load two yellow box and too green box from rack

* if blue color pallet arrives , the ASRS should load two blue box and two red box from rack

*if green color pallet arrives , the ASRS should load four green box from the rack

This task should continuously work until the model stops.

How can i over come this problem. i have attached the model for your reference asrs.fsm

FlexSim version 16.0.0 was used.

Thanks in advance for your answer

You can place a combiner on the exit of the rack. the input port number 1 is connected to the object, that transfers the pallets. OnEntry of the pallet the component list is updated by a label on the pallet which contains encrypted its color. The rack is connected to the combiner on the input ports 2 to 5. In the rack you send the items by the function itemtype or as a command getitemtype(item) or by its label for the color. If you like you can use ports by case, too. In the rack you have to activate use transport.

You have to manage that the combiner gets as the first item the pallet. You can close the output of the rack when a assembled pallet exits the combiner and open the output of the rack when the pallet enters the combiner over the port 1 again. Flexsim will manage the combination and transport by the asrs.
