how to define the work of the robot by using Process Flow ?

Hello !

The robot in my model picks the pallets and loads them onto the combiner. Then it stays close to the combiner like he's controlling the work on Combiner. What im trying to do is make the robot leave the combiner and take instantly another pallet. Then it should wait until combiner is empty and then unlad the pallet. It will speed up my process. I tried to make a logic in process flow but it doesnt work.

modelv1.fsm

I have also a few more question about my model. How i can comunicate with Flexsim Partners excluding this forum ?

Thank you for interest ! ;)

Hi @Piotr R,

I'm happy to take a look at your model. The version you attached, however, doesn't have a robot. Perhaps you have an updated version you could attach?

In terms of providing support, FlexSim U.S. has a support team that is happy to help with basic model questions. You can reach us through the contact information on our contact page.

For more involved model questions that dive more into the consulting realm, we also offer consulting services. These allow you to work closely with a consultant on a project (usually larger scale projects) and merit a fee according to the size of the project.

If you have other questions, please contact your distributor.

Here I have attached your updated model with logic that will tell the Robot to return to a location when it's done with its task. I used an On Resource Available trigger and then set the x, y, and z locations to that of the queue. You may adjust these if you'd like to try and get the robot arm closer to the pallet itself. Here's an image of where to find the logic:

And here's the updated model: robot-resource-available.fsm
