Can I set up infinite stock racks?

I want to make my racks have a infinite amount of items. I normally achieve this by making with a combination of (Pull strategy+Trigger) but im curious if there is a more elegant solution.

Thanks for reading.

You post your code, then we can discuss your code. Otherwise a method that works for you, is better than a method from someone else. You know your code and its function.

Hi @Andres Felipe YP2,

Here's an example of how I would achieve the "rack with infinite items" behavior. I just used Process Flow to create an object every time an object leaves the rack.

I don't know if this is any more elegant to have it in Process Flow rather than triggers, but maybe it can help you. Feel free to comment back. Thanks!
