Picking items from rack and combining it.

Hello I’m trying to create a simple model flexsim but I have some trouble with the process flow. I have a rack and a palette source.

I have a combiner and an operator who will pick items and put them into the combiner who will combine items.

I have an excel list with the commands and items that they should contain. I have labeled all the items in the rack (from 1 to 50) and the operator should pick them in function of the command list.

For example:

Command_1 has to contain item number 1, 29, 30, 43, etc. (see excel list)

Can you please help me with the picking?

Software Version:

FlexSim 18.2.2

I made changes to your model, you can use it as a basis for the changes you want, I got rid of some of the beginning source stuff because I didn't understand what the purpose of it was, you can make changes to the model I uploaded such as color changes to the pallets. Also for the Excel importing, change the file location to the one in your directory, it won't import the information you want if you make changes to your excel file. I added a list with a Label Field called Emplacement that the process flow is able to query from. The process flow creates as many tokens as there are commands, delays them the time for each pallet that should enter, then does a subflow for as many commands you have.
