Find item on specifi racks

[ FlexSim 23.2.3 ]

I have two rack zones in different areas of my model warehouse, I need that a transporter looks for an specific item with an specific label but just in an specific group of racks, how do I do that using find item?

Thanks.

Use an address scheme that includes the Aisle and or Zone ID (the default scheme has both) and use those values to group the racks. Then filter by those value in the Find Item activity (WHERE zoneID == ...)

Alternatively you could also assign identifying labels to the racks and use those in the query (WHERE item.slot.storageObject.labelName == ...)

Thanks, that worked perfectly, is it possible to do something similar with a queue, because its not letting me to add a Zone ID. I need the operator to grab something from a group of specific queues

Queues are not part of the Storage System (hence they don't have an address at all). You will need to use a list and filter for the correct queues by label.

Instead of queues I used floor storage and worked perfectly, thank you!
