Default Loading at the End of the conveyor

Hello everybody,

I have a questions that I'm a bit afraid to ask, it seems to be to easy.

What option do I have to chosse that my operator is directly walking at the end of the conveyor.

At the moment he is walking to the front end and after that to the end.

Greetings,
Florian.

It's the "travel to conveyor" part of the task sequence that is causing that - the conveyor location is just the yellow bounding box at the moment.

You can try:
1) Add the task executor to a network and connect to the conveyor a network node positioned at its end.
2) Remove the "travel to" part of the task sequence and just rely on the offset travel of FRLOAD to get to the flowitem.

Hello Florian,

you can place a queue at the end of the conveyor with the maxcontent of 1. That produces a very small error in your model.

Or you place a conveyor with the size of 1 product behind your main conveyor (and make that conveyor this amount shorter).

Hi,

normaly I would to this.

I have a logic included, that the items on the conveyor are sorted ans compared by on entry trigger with the items of an other conveyor. An Operator is only allowed to take out an item when the identical item on the other conveyor arrived /is available.


Hmmm...while writing i see that never the less it is possible. Next time I will do so.

Thank you.
