Storage in racks with transporter

Hi, 
I have a problem I would like to move the pallets from rack 1 to rack 2, to rack 8 and to rack 9 randomly. 
The movement must take place with the transporter and follow the marked path.
 Could anyone help me? 
Thank you.

Hi Federica,

as Jeanette wrote, make sure you've connected the first rack to the other three with a flow connection. I've seen your model and the connections are missing. if you insert them and use the "Use Transport" option in the output tab, your system will work. Also if you want to send pallets randomly you can use the "Random Port" option in "send to port" field.

Hi, I have another problem. 
I would like to optimize the path automatically but in reality I have walls on the side of the RackD, what can I do?
 Thank you

It would be best for you to start a new question instead of continuing to post to an already answered question.

Hi,

I think the best solution is to use A Star. Or you link your Transporter and the other obstacles with flow connection to A star in 3D model or you can use the divider and the barrier always in A star module. Try to see this example

Hello @Federica F,

You just need to connect the racks in the order you mentioned above. To use the transporter you just need to select "Use Transport" under the "Output" tab of each rack.
