Default Complete Warehouse Simulation

Dear Community Members,

Uploading a complete warehouse simulation model, a lot of tips i have taken from this forum, hence i owe this model to community.

Hoping people like it and use some techniques from it.

If you have any query, i will be very happy to respond.

Regards

I forgot to mention, This warehousing model creates warehouse dynamically and do all connection automatically.

What is missing here, since locations of objects in the model are hard coded hence it will place object at those location.

If someone want, what he can do, he can either put some formulas to calculate locations (x,y,z location) or change the location manually (Tedious work)

Once you do that, it can create any kind of warehousing layout, post which you can run the simulation and assess its performance.

Plz look at control button on gui, figure out two buttons create layout & delete layout. you will figure out how to go about it.

First press delete layout, then create layout.

There are lot of tables also, which is used for simulation such as Location Table, Order Table for Order Outgoing, GRN Table for Incoming, Part Characteristics and Others for Result parameters.

Infact Idea was to develop a model which can create any kind of layout with minimal userinput, with out any flexsim knowledge.

After developing this model, we can add evolutionary algorithm which will optimize layout and provide readymade solutions to the clients.

Hoping it will solve lot of purpose to the community members.

Let me know your feedback.

I got a message from Robert Liu who is not able to open this model. As per him he is using 5.0.4.

We have built this model in 5.1.2, probably there could be some licensing issue. But i am little bit doubtful.

Requesting community member to check whether this model is working at their end. As per my opinion it should work.

Robert also has send the error message that is

the system console:"time: 0.000000exception: Exception Caught in ObjectFunction002__project_exec_globals_nodefuncti ons_updatemodelversion object: MAIN:/project/exec/globals/nodefunctions/updatemodelversion class: MAIN:/project/exec/globals/nodefunctions/updatemodelversion"

Kindly advise.

Regards

Hi Shashank,

I can open your model ok in 5.1.2.
Models build in this release are not backwards compatible to 5.0.4 which is why Robert Liu is getting errors

Dear Community Members,

My assumption is people are liking this model. I request whosoever is using it please give me feedback to improve further on.

Primarily Only one thing is missing in the model, on ground object behavior in the model.

for example Truck which is coming/going to/from warehouse does loading/unloading on its own but practically it does n't happen like that.

What we did, used truck image on Transporter block by doing so it still has fork at front.

If somebody can correct it, will be great, in the meanwhile we are also searching for solutions.

Regards
Shashank Trivedi

Shashank,

the original forklift is an animation. To disable it goto the General tab in its GUI, click the Edit button next to "Visuals/Animation" and leftclick the eye icon in the top left part of the Animation editor. Everything without an eye beneeth will be switched off.

If you switch off everything, you just have the truck you imported as a 3D shape left. You should arrange the flowitems in the truck in a way, that they are not visible.

Thanks and good luck

Ralf

As you might have heard and read before, the forum crashed a couple of weeks ago and all attachments where lost. Flexsim asked everybody that could retrieve that info to put it back on but as you just found out in the majority of the cases that has not been done or could not be done. That is most probably the reason why you can't download

The forum crashed a couple of months ago and all downloads where lost. Unless the original poster is willing or able to post the model again the file can not be downloaded again.
