How to put a stay time for a pallet in a queue?

Hi!

I have pieces on the pallet and I must have a stay time when I load it on the queue (in production line) then they go to the sick.

But I don't arrive to make it.

Thank you for your help.

I've shared my model: 100uagvtoutespieces.fsm

OnExit Trigger

double staytime_queue = time() - getentrytime(item);

Another approach:OnEntry Trigger set a label on the item to store the entering time, on Exit you compute the difference

setlabel(item,"QueueStaytime",time());

OnExit Trigger

double staytime_queue= time() - getlabel(item,"QueueStaytime");

If it is just for a statistical matter you like to store the staytime, you can use the template option: Data > Set Tracked Variable. Inside the To field you write the code:

time() - getentrytime(item)

Hi!

Your solution doesn't start in my model, I just try in the queue 483.

Or maybe , I don't understand yous answer.

Thank you for your help!

I join you my model:100uagvtoutespieces.fsm

Mathilde, your code in the Queue483 set a label value to 70 on entry. On exit you compute 70 - this label value. Then you write a new label to the item again with this result which is of course 0. What is not working in your opinion beside, that the functions contains a syntax error in the model you have attached? Following you find the corrected value for the fields in the trigger templates you have chosen:

OnEntry Trigger Template values:

• Object: item
• Label: "QueueStaytime"
• Value: 70

OnExit:

• Object: item
• Label: "staytime_queue"
• Value: 70- getlabel(item,"QueueStaytime")
