Different Bin Size

Hi Forum,

I need to create 5 different size of bin in my model, so currently on reset, the racks will create some bins with specific material number and type of bin. (see picture attached)
I wanted to set the size of bin automatically on reset (size x, y, and z are stated in Global Table).
If it's possible, I want to set the size of bin on reset without having to change all the code at each rack. As you can see I have a lot of racks in my model.

I put this code OnRunStart (Model trigger) but nothing happened. Can someone please help me?
Thanks before.

BR,
Rahel

Hi! Rachel

I think maybe its's a reference error.
Try "treenode Binsnode = node("/Tools/FlowItemBin/Tote/Tote",model());" to find the right path of Tote in FlowItemBin.

Hope it helps

Hi Jing Chen,

Thanks for replying.
But it's still not working
Is it maybe because there are no bins/totes yet when the run starts?

Do anyone have any ideas?

Well,
Rachel, It is really strange.

I attach a simple model, You can change the y size by changing the value in table.
I also write the codes in OnRunStart trigger, And it works fine.

Hi Jing Chen,

Thanks for the model.
I guess I cannot use in OnRunStart trigger because there are command:

string TypeofBin = getlabelstr(Binsnode,"BinType");

that command functioned to read the label in Totes and get the "BinType" first before setting the size.
But when the run starts, there are still no value in the label.

When did you set the label value in ItemBin?
It should be set (maybe in OnModelReset ?)before the OnRunStart trigger fire to ensure getting the correct value in the label.

I set the value in the label when the bins enter the flow rack. But it's ok.
I put the code in each flow rack for now. Because I need to present my simulation this Friday.
Thanks for replying anyway
