Transporters loading operation issue

modelo-propuesto-processflow.fsm

Hello everyone, maybe someone can help me out with an issue.

I'm working on a warehouse model and would like to do the following operation but cant figure out how to program it.

At the moment as you an see in uploaded model, I have 2 forklifts (Linde 1 & Linde 2) and one taskexecuter (flatbed truck "camion despachos"). At the moment I have Linde 1 doing the picking in the warehouse and transporting items from racks to Q "docking area", where a taskexecuter loads pallets and transports them to production area and unloads pallets in Q where items must be placed for production.

What I wish is happening is that forklift (Linde 1) loads pallets picked from racks and then transports them directly onto taskexecuter, once taskexecuter has a batch a 6 pallets (full capacity) this resource should transport items to production where Linde 2 is used to unload pallets from truck and place them in corresponding Q where then items will leave the system.

If anyone can help me with this issue. Would be very grateful

Cody

From older answers: This is a standard task for coordinated tasksequences, Maybe in the combination with the Tasktype callsubtask.

An really old approach is to move a fixed resource like a queue into a taskexecuter. If the number of stored items match the travel condition, then a tasksequence is dispatched to the taskexecuter. If the taskexecuter has finished the travel task a sendmessage task will initiate the opening of the output of the incorporated queue.
