A*Navigator delimit download areas

asigna-posicion-en-piso-2.fsm

Hello! When starting the model boxes are created in the rack, and then placed in the model preserving its global position and then get its X and Y coordinates. When receiving pallets what I do is that a forklift go through them and put them in a position global according to the box. I'm trying to make this interact with the A * Navigator so that every time a pallet is placed on the floor, that area is limited so that the forklift can not pass through that area and look for a new route to the destination to which it should travel. I have done it in the following way, but it does not work, because when placing the pallets on the floor the A * Navigator does not detect them, and passes through them. Do you have a solution or can not this be done? If something is not clear please comment me and explain a little more.

You could create barriers at each individual slot and set each barrier's condition to check whether the slot has items in it or not.

Even with collision avoidance of other travel members, if you have Ignore Inactive Members checked, then your forklift will run over the pallets. If you don't have Ignore Inactive Members checked, then the forklift will travel near the pallet and wait for the pallet to move out of the way. Either way won't cause the forklift to route around the pallet the way you want it to.

If you want to route around the pallets, then conditional barriers is your best solution (despite it requiring quite a bit of configuration to set it up for each cell).
