how to create a logical sequence flow

[ FlexSim 21.0.10 ]

Hello everyone

I'm creating a simple flow activity, that needs to work this way: the person will arrive the corresponding adress (at this order: 020_125, 020_091, 020_046, 020_124, 020_136, 019_123, 019_101, 019_49, 019_92 and the last is 019_118), pick the box and send it to the sink. But i can't define the person to follow this sequence above, can you guys help me?

PS: the racks need to be exactly at the point where they are, in this simulation the distance between them is important.

There are many possible solutions to this. In the attached model the racks do not pass the task sequence to the operator through a centerport connections but instead push it to list.

In a small Process Flow, tokens pull those task sequences from the list and dispatch them to the operator in the correct order. The address is given to the tokens in the Scheduled Source and the order of the tokens is enforced by the zone that only allows a single token to pull a task sequence at the same time.

When pushing the task sequence to the list, they are placed in a partition defined by the respective rack. That way, the tokens can pull a task sequence whose rack matches their address label.
