Hello Dear Community,
In the model attached, I want to implement the separator logic in process flow. So in this sense I need that the operator moves the pallets to a pallet queue and boxes to a boxes queue.
It's really important to incorporate this in process flow, no other way
pallets and boxes separator.fsm
Thank you !
This can be done using a subflow that moves the boxes in the array token.pallet.subnodes into one queue, then moves the pallet into the other. See the attached model:
support_pallets-and-boxes-separator.fsm
Please note that I've changed the event triggered source to Processor- OnProcessFinish to prevent moving items before the process time is done.
Also, the operator is not used in my model but this can be easily implemented in process flow. Check out this tutorial to show you how:
https://docs.flexsim.com/en/20.2/Tutorials/TaskLogic/Tutorial3ConditionalTasks/3-1SubflowsArrays/
Thank you so much.
However, when I'm trying that the operator unloads one box at a time, an error appears. I've activated the "run one token at a time" option on subflow.
When you are running one at a time, you need to change the box label value to token.pallet.subnodes[1]. This way the operator moves the first value in the array until there are none left.
When token.pallet.subnodes[creationRank] is used while moving one at a time, the operator picks up 2 boxes (token.pallet.subnodes[1] & token.pallet.subnodes[2]) and then tries to token.pallet.subnodes[3] but it does not exist because there are now only 2 values in the array (2 boxes left on the pallet).
Thank you, what I have to chnge if I want the operator to load 2 boxes at the same time.
