ABC storage system

Hi

I have this model which places 3 different types of items to 3 different racks. I want the green ones to go to the first level of all 3 racks. The blue on the other 2 levels of the rack and the red ones to go on the levels that are left.

Against my previous statements here at answers.flexsim.com, Fixed Resource behavior works still in Warehousing.

The Send To Port function needs to be adjusted to find a slot for the item and return the objects' port number which will hold the item.

It is necessary to free the slot on Exit for the last leaving item of a slot to make the slot available again.

Picture: Same storage system, painted slots color active. The colors of the items are only changed to get a better contrast to painted slots colors. The labelname of painted slots is "class" to show a different name to default "Type".

Use Transport option is available for Queue1 to fill the rack by a taskexecuter object.

The model stopps when all items are going to the overflow and there isn't any capacity left in both queues. Maximum capacity is set to 100 on both.

It is a standard 3D approach without Process Flow.
