retrieve from mobile rack using process flow

Hi,

I am using a mobile racking system. the transporter picks up the flow item and decides in which rack to place it, then the racks move and the transporter places the flow item in the respective racks by using their respective network nodes.

There are certain dwell times given for the racks. once the dwell time is triggered I want queue 0 to stop producing the products or the transporter to stop picking products from queue 0.

I want the transporter to go the specific racks and retrieve the products and then use the network nodes to place it on queue 3.

And then after placing the products in queue 3, the transporter go and collect the products that are produced in queue0 and then use the specific network nodes to store the products in the rack

the sample model is attached below

thanks for your help in advance.

@Aravind D

Here's an updated version of your model that works how you want it to: rackretrievinganswer.fsm. In it, Queue 0 will continue producing FlowItems, while the transporter loads items onto the rack and unloads them from the rack on a first-come, first-serve basis.

It works by using event-triggered sources (when the dwell time of items run out), and by labeling items as either "load" or "unload" depending on whether the Transporter should load from the rack or unload the item onto the rack.
