Unable to transfer good according to the level of conveyor

Hi, as I am doing project for my school work, would need some urgent help in transfering good from a forklift according to the level of conveyor.

Currently my model shows that it randomly transfer the goods to different level of the conveyor. But what I want is for it to fully utilise the ground conveyor before going the 2nd level and then finally the 3rd level. Please kindly help!!! Thank so much!

My model file is attached

Hi,

first of all create only one tasksequence for the forklift. Therefor you can put a queue with a capacity of one at the loadstation.
If you insert a queue with a capacity of 2 in front of each conveyor, the forklift can each time it gets available deliver a flowitem to the unloadstation. There is still free capacity at the unloadstation. Your question has something to do with the availibilty of ports.

First I'd change the rank of the output ports on Queue 107 so that conveyor 38 is first, then 38_2 and lastly 38_3 on port 3 (it's logical to have them in priority order). Then change the sendTo to return the port number you need by looking at the conveyors' contents plus the nroftransportsin for each.

treenode item = parnode(1);
treenode current = ownerobject(c);

treenode conv;
double size=xsize(item);
double found=0;
for(int index = 1; index <= nrop(current)&&not(found); index++)
{
conv = outobject(current, index);
int num=content(conv)+getvarnum(conv,"nroftransportsin");
if(num*size<getvarnum(conv,"conveyorlength"))
{
found=index;
}
}

return found;

If you start taking from those conveyors you may want to try adding a check for the nroftransportsout in the logic.

This code assumes the size of the items on the conveyors are the same.

Hi, Sorry for the late replies guys. Thanks for the help! It works! Deeply appreciated.

HI Guys!!

Sorry I need another help!!

After pasting the codes that you have given to me, conveyor 38 and 48 did works. The goods did uploaded from 1st level to 2nd level.
But however, when i input the codes into queue109 and Loading Bay 124, the conveyor connected to them does not filled everything up into the conveyor, but instead there are still some goods left in the queue. Can you guys kindly help out as after inputing the codes, the conveyor doesn't work as the same as Queue 109 and Queue 107.

I attached a new updated model. (sorry for the complicated model) Thanks!

Try checking the box 're-evaluate send-to on downstream availability'.
