Using different combinations of operators for Transport
All,
This is another model that I put together to show a concept. The concept is using the Request Transport From trigger to determine how you will transport a flowitem. In the model the flowitems are given a random color and itemtype number. The itemtype number is used to determine the size of the item and ranges from 10 to 180. The items are then placed on one of three conveyors (Round Robin if available). Each conveyor sends the packages to its own sink. The Request Transport Fromtrigger of the conveyors determines how the package will be transported to the sink. If the package size is less than 80 then the package is transported by a single operator. If the package is between 80 and 140 then two of the operators will act as a team to transport the package to the sink. If the package is above 140 then an operator will travel to the lift and use the lift to move the package. When an operator uses the lift there are some messages sent to position the operator in the correct positions. The code for the messages is located on the conveyors. As always I have tried to comment each line of code so that you can read the comments to see what is going on as opposed to having to translate the code. Let me know if you have any questions or comments, Brandon
