Move from Racks with time

[ FlexSim 21.2.1 ]

Goodnight

I want that in my model, each object moves from the Rack to a Queue one unit every certain time, different for each type, for example, Box 1 leaves the Rack every 100 sec, and Box 5 leaves the Rack every 30 sec .

I am currently using PF with "source" to create "Token" and from a "Global List" move a box. But it does not move the one corresponding to the same time that was assigned.

I enclose my model, and in advance I thank you for the very kind help that you will surely be able to provide me.

Greetings

Set your Rack to “Use as Fixed Resource”. Then you get an option function field, that is called minimum dwell time. Your Rack MUST be connected by edges to exit objects and entry objects to perform properly.

The rack acts similar to 3D logic driven processor then.
