Determine the workflow of the transporter.

Hello everyone,I want to create a model that has this kind of logic.

When there is a Token from "Source Type",

the truck will travel to "NN1" and when the transporter travels to pick up the item at Queue1,2, truck will travel from "NN1" to queue 3 to wait to load the item from the transporter(To load the list of trucks will separate the item type and the truck will wait to load the item until the required amount is reached.).

The truck has loaded the item from queue 3 and will travel to the sink.

(Nominal load).

Truck volume =20.

Can logic be created as a model?

Thank you for your help in advance.truck-1.fsm

@joey

Just to clarify, do you want Transporter2 and Transporter2_2 to unload items at Queue3 and then move those same items to the truck or do you want them to not use Queue3 anymore and just drop off items into the truck?

I don't think telling the truck to travel to NN1 every time a token comes out of the sources is a good idea. Do you want the truck to be ready to pick up items every time there are items in Queue3?

Hi @Joseph Gillespie

I want them to no longer use Queue3 and send the item to the truck.

Yes, I want the truck to pick up goods every time there is an item in the queue 3 or something that will replace Queue3.

Thanks.

I'm not sure how close this is to what you want, but here's a model I made where the truck waits for 20 items to collect in Queue3, after which it collects all 20 and takes them to the Sink. You can see the logic for this in the "Truck Transportation" box I created.

Here is the model: truck1answer.fsm

Hi @Joseph Gillespie

From the model you attached, I think it's still not the logic I want. I created a model with logic, but I found some problems and this is the model that I created. test.fsm

I want the truck to come to "BasicFR1" to wait for the Item and be released from "BasicFR1" to travel to "Queue3".

The problem that I can't fix is that I don't know what to use to get and release "tokens", so I use "Waiting for Events" to pick up and release "Tokens". no Leaving "waiting for activity".

And when this logic is true and I want logic, next is the truck that travels to Queue 3. Trucks from "BasicFR1" will be released when "Token" is released from "Pull from List" and the truck will load the items according to the specified quantity(5,3).

After the truck has loaded items from the queue 3 will travel to "Sink" for loading goods.

Thank you.

@joey

Hopefully this is closer to what you were looking for: testanswer.fsm

I modified your model so that the Trucks travel to Queue3, pick up a minimum of 3 (and max of 5) items, and unload them at the sink.

I'm not sure I understand when you want the trucks to travel to Queue3, could you explain that to me more?

Also, in the model you sent me the trucks were invisible. Was that on purpose?

Hi @Joseph Gillespie

Is it possible for me to set a Token to enter "Travel"?

Is the same "Token" that leaves "Pull from List".

And I noticed that the truck received both colors But the logic that I want is that the truck will be able to accept only one color.
