maximum for content

I have 3 types of items. Items will be sent from the queue to the rack.

I want to know that in the rack Can the item be received in different quantities?

Item 1 has a capacity(minimum content) of 600.

Item 2 has a capacity(minimum content) of 500.

Item 3 has a capacity(minimum content) of 400.

Can set according to this condition?

Thank you for your help.

@joey ,

Attached is your model with the changes that I've made. You really can't set a Rack "minimum" but you can set a Rack "maximum" for content. I'm hoping that is what you are referring to?

All that was needed was to add code to the OnEntry trigger of each Rack. If it is the first flowitem into that rack, the maximum rack quantity is changed, based on the the flowitems itemtype. No other changes were needed in the model.

Take a look at the model and see if this is what you had in mind.

Thanks.

@joey,

Also, in answer to your question here, you can't just increase the amount of transporters to use in the PF block. You have to have "physical" objects associated with the number of resources that you have. In the attached model (above), I added another transporter (through use of a Group) to use for loading the Racks.

Take a look at the model and see if this is what you had in mind. Please let us know if there are any problems or concerns.

Thanks.

Hi @Jeff Nordgren

From the model you attached is what I want.

But I tried to increase the number of transporters,That moves from the rack to the queue4.

I don't understand where I am wrong?

I want you to help see which model is wrong.

Thanks for the help,Thank you for understanding my question,Thank you very much.

You could add a label to the items called minimum. Then in your process flow you could have a decide that looks at this label on the objects in the rack in question, and if the content amount is above the label amount, move them, if not keep filling.
