Drive-In Rack Padding

[ FlexSim 23.2.0 ]

Hi there,

I'm having trouble with adding padding to drive-in racks to stop operators from placing items at that level, especially when they're working from a process flow. I don't want to make that level an unstorable slot because it makes it disappear visually.

Please see the model below.

Hello @Maryam H2,

You need to select for the rack to allow placement only where there is space. One thing I noticed is that once you do that your box was too large to fit in the slots. I shrunk it in the x and it fits in the slots that have space for it. so the slots with the padding don't get filled.

@Jeanette F I see, you're right. What about this version when we use the storage system and the paint slot function to assign slots to boxes? Why doesn't this one work?

So in your first model the rack was finding the slots for the items and in your recent model the process flow activity is finding the slots. I added to the query to check for space and it works
