Error when removing from Rack with Combiner

The left box Source creates two boxs, and the right pallet generator creates three of each of the three pallet according to time. The synthesizer uses the schedule to pull the goods out of the shelf.

But from the results of the operation, it is wrong. How should I correct it? Thank you!

Hi @Yang H2,

The reason why the output is wrong is because the combiner has two of the same input port. There is nothing to specify which item type to get. I would use Process Flow for a model like this normally, but we can work with the setup you have here.

To make this work, the rack should only release Type 1 items from output port 1 and Type 2 items from output port 2. This way, when the Combiner pulls from input port 1, it is only pulling Type 1. Same for input port 2. I've shown a screenshot of what I added to make this work. Hopefully this solves the question you had.
