How can I separate certain boxes of a tote?

190108-orderpicking.fsm

Hello, Dear.

I'm making a order picking model, I have a problem.

First of all, AGV load the certain tote that arrived Queue1 by sequence or random.

Also, Separator1 separate two things, one is the tote that has other boxes, another one is the certain boxes.

Thank you so much for your help.

You move the boxes off the tote. You need a reference or pointer to the boxes, The boxes are the subnodes of the tote.

item.first// first box
item.subnodes[1] // first box
item.subnodes[2] // second box
item.subnodes[item.subnodes.length] // last box
item.last // last box

Move the fourth box of the item (tote) to an Object named as "myDestinationObject"

moveobject( item.subnodes[4], model().find("myDestinationObject"));

Thank you so much for help, sir. I understand a code. but I don't know where to write them. Where will I enter the code ?

I'm not entirely sure I understand what you are asking here. Is there any way you can clarify? If you want to use Jorg's code below, typically you will put those kinds of identifiers into Send to Port logic, or an On Load trigger on one of the AGVs, or in an On Entry trigger in the queue or Separator. Jorg's code will allow you to single out the box or tote you're looking for, but you'd need to write the sorting logic yourself, or use one of the drop down options for that. If that's not what you're looking for, then I'll need a little bit more clarity on what it is you are needing the model to do.
