Picks from wrong racks

[ FlexSim 19.2.4 ]

Hi everyone ,

@Brandon Peterson

I would apriciate if you help me

In this model the operator picks items from racks to prepare the orders.
But when finish the rack 504 i want to go to 505.
But the operator turns back in 504 rack and picks items which belong to 505 rack .
I have tryied to put the navigator again but the problem remains.

The racks must remains in z rotation in 180.

Any idea of this?

There where two reasons that you were seeing this problem. The first is that two of the racks were not added as members to the A* network. They are circled in red in the picture below that I made after I had added them to the network.

The second, is due to how the A* network calculates travel to objects. I don't have the knowledge to elaborate on exactly how it works but I can tell you that there is a difference between the pallets in the racks and the items on the pallets. By adding a travel activity to the pallet (Shown below) in front of the load activity in your process flow I was able to eliminate the operators reaching through the racks to pick items from pallets in the other rack.

I hope this helps,

Brandon
