Hi,
this yet is not a finished idea but I want to use it to collect/ show my (and your) thoughts about what FlexSim needs to make our work on Warehouse models easier.
In my experience Warehouse models mostly face the biggest problems in:
- handling data about free and blocked spaces
- find best place for a specific item to store
- place items in specific points/ styles (3D view and data)
- special behavior of transports (e.g. Conveyor, Task Executer, shuttle, crane)
- find best item (or places with specific items) to take out of store
One of my examples is, that I very often not even use the rack to store items, but take a Queue with a "do nothing" setting and write the whole placement of items in FlexScript.
This normally happens as soon as I´m dealing with different sized items.
I´m sure most of you have created their own solutions in absence of an easy way to do it with a specific FlexSim object.
