[samueltan5550]

I am very new for Flexsim, I want to let transporter 1 to finish it's task moving the box from floorstorage to the rack, then only transporter 2 starts to move , transport the box from rack to the queue. But now, Transporter 2 moves after transporter 1 just unload 1 box!Need help and guidance ,thanks.

When using port-connections for the routing you need to close the output of the rack until transporter1 is finished (see attached model for example).

For finer control, for example only releasing some of the items in the rack, I would recommend to use Process Flow. In conjunction with using lists to keep track of the items you can control the timing of each item release. For more information about how to use Process Flow I recommend to work through the task logic tutorial.

Hi Sam,

There’s a one-option setting in the rack property called dwell time. If you give the rack a little dwell time, say 2 seconds, Trasporter2 will always pick an item after 2 seconds of being placed on the rack by Transporter1.
