Arrange boxes in rack

[Maria8]

[ FlexSim 23.0.9 ]

Hi there, I am just learning flexsim, I designed this model, But I still face problem with dealing with labels.

My model has 5 types of boxes, I can not understand how we can put the boxes based on their types in certain slots. For example in the first bay, I want the only the boxes from type A, B in both bay 2,3, etc. I tried the painter, with no results

Are you using process flow or 3D modeling to implement it? If it's just 3D you can just choose the Label and value you want to sort by and it will automatically sort it. Here's a simple model that puts them in the racks according to Type label.

Let me know if you're still struggling with it and post a model and we can work on it :)

@Julie Weller This is the model TRY.fsm

@Julie Weller , my problem is the label is string not int

[julie_weller]

The issue was just not choosing the slot assignment strategy on the rack to be Matching Labels:

Here's the model! I kind of arbitrarily assigned slots but you can edit it

try.fsm

[julie_weller]

You can just put quotes around strings for example "A" or "B" will work!

I want for type certain color not round, for example the first bay green, and for type A.

Then it is a customized color pallet with different values as strings assigned to colors. https://docs.flexsim.com/en/23.0/Reference/Tools/ColorPalette/ColorPalette.html

I have seen that you can assign a different color pallet to the tool paint slot labels of it was that you could set a warehouse label (warehouse tool or rack properties) and choose there a color pallet for this label, which reflects to paint slot label tool.

@Joerg Vogel Can I reset painter, because it gives me wrong with wrong value

Can I adjust this

[julie_weller]

What seems to be the problem with it?

[Maria8]

It saves the values each time I run the model, I dont want these color to these values

[julie_weller]

You can set up the color palette here:

And then if you go to storage system in the toolbox:

And set it up like this, it will update the colors
