Forklift Help

Hello,

In my model, I want to figure out how to stop the forklift(transporter 1) once it has unloaded all the boxes on floor storage 6, so that I can have another forklift unload the boxes on the next floor storage. Can someone help me on this? Also, I want to figure out how to get the forklift(transporter 2) to load the boxes from floor storage 6 when transporter 1 has filled the storage, and then bring it into queue 1 and unload it? I have put the connections and everything but it isn't going accordingly. Please can someone edit my file and provide me with how you achieved this ?

Thank You truly for all your help!

Hello @Navode W,

For Transporter 2 to load items from the floor storage then it will need to be center port connected to that floor storage and the floor storage and queue connection needs to be from the floor storage to the queue. You previously had the opposite connections.

As for transporter 1, are you wanting it to stop moving entirely or just stop loading to all floor storage when it fills up the first? Or are you wanting transporter 1 to focus on the next floor storage while the full floor storage is being unloaded by the transporter 2? I have implemented the latter by using triggers. The model starts with the output on the floor storage closed. The on entry triggers check to see if the floor storage is at its full capacity. Once the floor storage is full it will close the input port and open the output port.
