Storage System refrash the item position

NewLoadPositionv20.1.fsmHello everyone,

I want to realize that the operator takes box2 at the new loading point A, not point O, without traveltoloc.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

@Bob.Wang In order to load the flowitem at Point A instead of Point O, you'll have to use a Travel To Location activity. You can use a normal Travel activity to travel to the rack, which will get you close to the point. Then add a Travel to Location activity immediately after. You can get the coordinates of the point by getting the location of the rack at that point.

Lastly, you'll need to stop the operator from traveling to the item. This can be accomplished one or two ways. In the Operator's properties window you can change the offset travel from Travel offsets for load/unload tasks Do not travel offsets for load/unload tasks.This will apply to ALL offset travel so it may not be desirable.

Alternatively, you could remove the Load task and replace it with a Custom Code activity that moves the flowitem into the operator. This would affect only this load task.

@Matt Long Thanks a lot. By the way, Is there any way to stop rack refresh item's location in the rack ?

By refresh you mean stop the rack from doing its default logic and placing the item in a slot, bay and level? There are many ways to customize the warehousing objects. The warehousing tutorial is currently being finished up, but there is a lot of good information about how item placement (slot assignment) works in the User Manual Warehousing page. The rack can place things based upon slot assignment strategy located in the properties of each rack. I would take a look at that. If you have any additional trouble, feel free to ask a new question.
