One type of flow item in rack, but with a random selection from previous Queue.

Hi,I want to simulate a Rack system with a previous queue that receive Flowitems of different types. This Racks have to represent the real warehouse distribution analyzing the the % of available space and study the Transporter movements. I need that the racks receive only one type of flow item, and if another type have to be storage, search to another rack with the same type or a free rack.

I did a model based the port dispatch based in a table, but if you have a better idea I will appreciate it. Also could be a rack that put in a bay only one type of item based in the first that arrived to that bay.

Im trying to upload the file but I have problems

Software Version:

FlexSim 18.0.10

rack storage flexsim 18.0.10

Try the picklist option in the Send To Port function of Queue4 Matching Item Types.

Matching item types works well but when the rack is full, don´t send to another available rack.

Then it is up to you, you can adjust the source code of the template. Or you build a logic in Process Flow.
