Multi order pickers in an assembly station

Post by WU1 »

The assembler is a kind of single server, although the picking department may be a multi-server in practice (multiple pickers in one warehouse). How should we model an assembly station with multiple order pickers?

My suggestion would be to use multiple assemblers in that case. Probably you need to control the release of the orders (as in the topic "Unblocking the assembler") so that they are released once a picker is available.

Another representation of multiple order picking in a warehouse would be to use the amount of advanced transporters as pickers. See the advanced transporter examples provided with your ED installation (\Work\Examples).
