Hello all,

I'm using the new storage system in Update 2. How is it possible to search for a slot in a specific rack ?

The rack is pulled from a list in process flow - > token.pulled

token.pulled = "Rack_1"

I see that you can query the storage.System but i don't know the query...

Please advise.

Thank you.

Using the Storage.system.findSlot() method, there are multiple options:

First, you can compare the name of the rack.

Storage.system.findSlot("WHERE slot.storageObject.name = $1.pulled", 0, token);

Second, you can store the rack name on each slot as a label. The advantage of this is that you can then use indexing for fast lookup. See warehousing concepts, also storage system reference, and the paint slot labels tool.

Storage.system.findSlot("WHERE RackName = $1.pulled", 0, token);
