How to pick item from list accordingly with the type

Hello,

In the attached model, there is this scenario: Source 2 produces three different types of products (1, 2 3, 4, 5 and 6). Those products are directed to specific Racks (1, 2 and 3). After that, there is a combiner that received pallets from Source 1, and the remaining items come from the Buffer.

Here is the situation: when the Combiner receives the pallet from Source 1, I need the Transporter to pick the item from the list (ItemList1), accordingly with each item type (one item from type 1, one item from type 2, one item from type 3, and so on...) and deliver those itens to the Buffer.

I tried to develop this logic using the Process Flow but I didn't work as planned. If anyone could help me, I would really appreciate!

Software Version:

FlexSim 19.1.0

Use a Processor instead of a combiner, if you use Process Flow.

Sorry, but I think I didn't get your point... What do you mean exactly? And the combiner is necessary in my model, so I would not want to use a processor instead of a combiner, if it were possible.

Hello, @Victor F2

I changed your model and built a simple process flow logic. Let me know if this updated model is working properly and if it is what you are looking for.
