pick 2 order at same time with order picking

Hello everyone.


I am trying to pick several different item using order picking.

Now it is set to pick 1 item only.

It would be very helpful to show how to pick several item at once.


And also would it be possible to pick one item from a rack then pick another one from another rack then go to the destination?

Hello!

First of all you have to modify the number of arrivals at the Process Flow Source. The number of arrivals must be 5 as the number of rows of your Order Table.

Then, if you want that your Task Executer pick one box of each rack you have to do two Pull from List (before the pull you have to do two partitions, one for each rack) and then two loads and two unloads.


I hope that my proposed solution was helpfull.


The solution model is attached at the response.

In the "Load" activities that have been called "Load Rack1", Load Rack2", station field instead of specifying the rack with a find command it should be

token.pulled.up

Then you can pick as many item from any rack.

I would probably also rename the pulled label to something more meaningful too.
