How to configure model so that specific transporters can visit specific racks?
Hey,
I would like that only specific transporter can move itemtypes to specific racks. For example I have six racks: A, B, C, D, E, F, and I would like that only transporter1 can move itemtypes to racks A and B, and thus transporter2 moves itemtypes to racks C, D, E and F. From single queue the itemtypes are sent randomly to any available port, rack. I would just like that specific transporter can visit only particular racks. How should I configure my model to achieve this goal? Should I configure Queue, dispatcher or transporter setups? I have attached in this message my example model related to this question. Best regards Johannes Paimela |

In the "use transport" trigger you have access to the port the item is send to. So there you can create a simple if then else or a case statement.
if port = 1 or port = 2 use transporter connected to centerport 1 else if port = 3 or port = 4 use transporter connected to centerport 2 etc.... |
