We have floor storage in a room. Only one item (Box or pallet) can go in one location. Additionally, we organize so that boxes go in one row and pallets in another. In my test model I tried to make this work but I was unsuccessful. Can someone help? material-storage-test.fsm
Floor Storage Rack as a Warehousing object:
Please deactivate: Use as Fixed Resource on Flow tab of Rack object.
Paint the slots with tool of Warehousing library. You can use any label name. Default name is "Type". You set a different values e.g. {1,2}. You set to your items labels named exactly as you use for your painted slots "Type" or any other name and the same values. 1 for box, 2 for pallet or vice versa.
The Assign Slot Strategy function source code after the header needs only a query to identify a slot and an assign slot statement for the Storage.Item.
- Storage.Slot slot = Storage.system.findSlot(
- "WHERE slot.slotItems.length < 1 AND slot.Type = $1 ORDER BY slot.levelID ASC"
- ,0,item.Type);
- storageItem.assignedSlot = slot;
with
- slot.SlotItems.length < 1 // only one item per slot
- slot.Type = $1 // lambda parameter $1 = item.Type == slot.Type //painted label
See answer for query slots in Storage.System, too!
