The simplest way to create order picking simulation.

I'm thinking how I can create order picking simulation without using the process flow.

For example, I have a list of order like below:

Order1:Red2, Green1,Blue1,

Order2:Red1,Green0,Blue1,

Order3:Red0, Green1,Blue2,

Red, Blue, Green are the item types, I'd like to pick these items by orders above, and in case Order1, I pick Red2, Green1, Blue1, and put them on the queue "Shipping".

Please see the attached .fsm file.

Here is a revision of the Picker going to the closest queue. Also the picker is gathering all items in the order before going to the combiner, rather than going to the combiner between each item pick. I switched the order that the ports were connected between the combiners and queues.

If there are more changes/detail that you are needing, please let me know and I can begin working on it.

Hey Zac

How you let the picker gather all items in the order instead of going back and forward? Could you help me on my model. The picker need to pick up 20 items on his way to the combiner. picking-v2.fsm

If you could post this as a new question, I'll post an answer to it. Thanks
