Hi,
we need to simulate a woodcompany.
we need some help with the following questions:
1.) The receipt of the goods (source) should be 500pcs each delivery. How can we do this?
2.) How is it possible to stock the products a specific time or specific amount in the warehouse?
3.) Our Advanced Transporter should pick up and deliver in a given sequence.
4.) Is it possible to split a product in to several smaller products? For example one Product with the length 15meter in to 15 products each of 1meter.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards.

Re: Some Questions
Hi, herewith some hints/answers in an alternative order:
1. Several options are available. You can use an Arrival list atom to create batches at certain moments or you can use the basic Source atom and split the product afterwards into 500 identical products, The Splitter atom (make 499 copies) can be used or use the batch-rule in the server (1 In, B out with B is set to 500).
4. Again the Spiltter atom or the Batch rule in the server. On exit set the size (xsize or ysize) to the desired length.
2. You have to control the output of the stock. By default it is trying to open the output as soon as there is content in it. The order is first in first out as defined in the queue discipline. You can change this by using other rules or create your own rule. An abstract way of buffering for a certain time is using a Multiservice atom with a certain capacity and a defined staying time.
Controlling the output of the stock (and thus the stay time) can be done with the commands Closeoutput and Openoutput or by controlling the moment transporters arrive at the stock to pick-up the product.
4. Did you try the combination of the Advanced Transporter with Dispatcher and Destinator atoms? The sequence is defined by the order you offer pick-up or drop-off tasks to the transporter. In the Dispatcher you can sort tasks. Otherwise you have to control the times when to offer a specific task to the transporter.
