Operator in a Floor storage

[ FlexSim 21.2.4 ]

Hi everyone. I have a question about Floor Storage and Operators objects. Is there an option or is it possible to create logic in order to the operator who entered a Floor Storage does not walk through the items? (please see image "Operator_walking").

Something I tried in the attached model was to add the items to A* with the command "contextdragconnection". Although when opening the “A * Navigator Properties” they appear as members, the model does not recognize them as barriers (I suppose this happens because they are not objects of type FR or Travelers).

I appreciate in advance any suggestion, thank you very much.

You can try to implement it in agent system. Any occupied rack cell contain a taskexecuter (Basic TE). You activate a label value in those Taskexecuter which a mobile Taskexecuter recognizes as an obstacle. Then he can try to avoid this cell on his travel by a tasksequence sending him somewhere else.

Hi @Joerg Vogel , thank you very much for your answer and suggestion.

I will try to implement it with the agent system. Is there a demo that works with something similar to what you told me??

On the other hand, with the intention of finding the best option, could another tool help in the construction of something like this?

The "addDynamicBarrier" method of the A* Navigator could probably also be used to achieve your goal.

Cool, nice approach! Obviously the floor storage should not be a member of A*Star.

Hi @Felix Möhlmann and @Joerg Vogel, thank you very much for adding this alternative. I will check it too.

Excellent. Thank you very much for sending me these models.
