How to record the labels of flow items in a queue?

Hi,

I'm trying to record the labels of each pallet (which is set upon entry) that goes in and out of a queue (Pallet Queue). This will be used to determine how much were served and how much were unserved. I tried using statistics collector but it only gave a blank table.

Software Version:

FlexSim 19.1.0

I was just looking through some older posts and found this question. I'm not sure I fully understand what you are trying to do, or why you are trying to do it? You may have already come up with another solution. I think that you are looking to track the current active pallet labels between two points? I will often do this with a list.

I place all of your pallets on a global list when they enter your "Pallet Queue" and then remove them from the list when they exit the "Whse1 Combiner". I add the labels as fields on the list and then view the entries.

Again, not sure if this is what you were looking for but thought I'd provide another idea.22912-inventory-and-order-3.fsm

@Rex R. B

Attached is your model with the change that I made.

I just changed the OnEntry trigger of Pallet Queue to add to the global table. The option you had just wrote to a specific row (1) and column (1).

If you have any questions, please let us know.

Thanks.
