Operator to pick the item based on global table? (Version 17.0.12)

Hi,

I am simulating a warehouse picking process.

Where each bay has a specific ItemType allocted, and the operators are supposed to pick based on the global table(Pick-list with ItemType and Quantity) that I have imported.

Could someone kindly advise me on how to instruct the operator to pick according to the global table?

Many thanks.

Here's a basic example you can work off of. It uses a list where you can query the SKU from, then in process flow I created an arrival source that assigns the SKU and quantity it needs to pull based on a table. I didn't know how you were telling your operator to pull items from the rack.pull-from-rack.fsm

Hi Joshua,

Thanks for the response, but I could not open your file as I am using FlexSim 2017.

Which version of 2017? For future questions it will be helpful if you put which version of FlexSim you are working with.

Hi,

I have attached the model with some changes in Source Activity Under Quantity Label.

Solution: tokenIndex is not the correct expression to accomplish this event. Instead of that use rowNumber. Now the model will run.

Thanks
