How to create an item in the rack using process flow?

Hello,

How to create an item placed in the rack using PF ?

How to set a label to a created item in the PF ?

I have found similiar topics on the Q&A but it still didn't solve my problem. I am trying to create an item in the rack that already has some placing logic (bays and levels) it also has entry trigger logic that colours pallet by label type. My token.Bin is the name of the rack e.g. "Y4_04" and an object is the pallet. The item is created only when the rack is empty and it is always placed in the same spot.

I am trying to do it for almost an hour so I would really appreciate your help :)

Software Version:

FlexSim 18.2.2

@Kamil KS, can you try to create an item in a queue? Let this item enter the rack object. This is easier than to replicate the complete entering process into rack by code or process flow.

An item leaves traces in a table of content, a table of location, a dwell time event. If the item behaves different to normal processed item, you evaluate labels at the item that results in different bay, level and dwell time at the triggers or functions in the rack.

If you want to understand what an object does to an item, please don’t assume the behavior. You watch what the object does, look into the tree and what functions are involved.

And please ask single topic question:

Unfortunately, there are 500 racks in my model so adding Queues would be difficult. I have some placing logic written in the code but I dont know where to put it in PF. Is it easier to create an item on the Transporter?

You can create items on the way into the rack on a taskexecuter. If you unload the created item to the rack, then the standard rack storage mechanism will place the item for you.
