[ FlexSim 21.2.4 ]

Good morning

Can you help me please I have several waiting queues but I have 3 queues to store at the end what I want is to know how I can assign operators so that only that final queue can download 2 operators per final queue regardless of the type of product that is, the Red operators can only go to download to queue 5 and green operators can only go to download to queue 6 and blue operators can only go to download to queue 7 no matter what type of product

how can i develop that

Similar to your last question you can connect all dispatchers to the queues and then vary which dispatcher is used. In this case, it would be based on the rank of the connection the item is send to. You can access this in the "Use Transport" option with "port". If you use it as the argument for the default "current.centerObjects[]", the first dispatcher will be used when the item is send through the first output, the second for the second, and so on.

perfect friend, if I could now, what happens is that the operators are removing the boxes from the first one that fills up and I don't want them to take them away, yes, but respecting, all that product goes to the next one, which is the exit without the operators leading to the other exit just respect all that accumulated queue go to a single exit dock with the two operators and so on

and how can i do it

It just flies, stores the queue when the product is already dispatched there and is available again.

I am sorry but I don't understand what you mean. The translation (I presume) doesn't make much sense. Could you describe what you mean more detailed or in a different way?

ready, what happens with the flexsim model is that all the operators take the boxes of the first one that is available and I don't want that

I want that as long as a queue contains the boxes that are allowed to be transported by 2 operators who take them to a queue station, all those who there and for the rest of the queues that store products, I want all those products to be transported to a single point of output with only two operators

I added a label "SendTo" to each of the penultimate queues and the label "Available" to the final queues. The first item from each queue is send to the first available queue ("Available" == 1) and that queue is set as unavailable for the others. Each subsequent item is then send to same queue by setting the "SendTo" label to that output rank.

When the queue becomes empty, these settings are reset in the On Exit trigger of the queues.

"Send to Port" code:

Exit Trigger code:

travel-2.fsm

Is this what you had in mind?

(I had to delete the GIS map because I currently don't have a full license on my home PC, so I had to get under the object limit of 30 to save the model.)

Thank you very much friend, you are great at this, you are very expert, you really helped me a lot that was what I wanted to do

Friend, in the model that I have in which you helped me, you notice that to go to the exit port priority is given so that those who are ahead are stored first I want the products that are stored first to go to the exit port why I see only the ports that are ahead

goes first to the exit

And I do not want that. I want those that fill first to be in order, the one that fills first, which goes out to the 3 ports of departure, and thus the operators look for the ports that fill first, giving priority to picking them up and taking them to the port of departure.

In summary I want the operators to load the box of the queue that first fills without importance where the queue is located with the products

Hi @Kevin S7,

I'm pretty sure that the model that @Felix Möhlmann modified for you already does what you're asking. Only the blue operators are allowed to pull from Queue4, Queue8, and Queue9, and they pull from those queues in the order that the batches are received.

Does this answer your question? If not, please let us know how we can better assist you. Thanks!
