Separator send item to different port by container type

stayhometown — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 10:14:09 GMT

Hi everyone,I would like to ask if there is a simple way to achieve the following:
I have different types of containers (pallet, tote) that carry the same content (box). I want to place the content in different locations depending on the container type, but I haven’t found a way to do this directly using 3D object settings. Could someone tell me how to do it? Or is it necessary to use a process flow?

You can do this with custom code in the Send To Port field. What you need to know is that a separator in "unpack" mode will send out the container item last and that it will be the first subnode of the separator until it exits. Using this information you can create if-else-conditions that send the items where you want them.
