Hey there,

i have a question about the assembler: I want the assembler to put X products on a pallet, whereas X is going to be definded as a distribution (Excel). How can i implement this in 4D?

Thanks in advance,

Dörte

Hi Dorte,

You can do this in 2 ways: update the pack quantity when a pallet enters the assembler (method1)

Or create a column in the b.o.m. table for each possible quantity and pick the column at random (method 2)

See attached example model.

Good luck!

Hey Marlies,

thanks a lot, you gave me the right input to solve my problem. But now I have another issue: How can i implement labour times? I don't want my staff to work 24/7

Thank you so much!

Hi Dörte,

To simulate labour times you could use the atoms availability control and time schedule availability. These atoms are available in the atom category availability.

There are some example models for these atoms in: C:\...Enterprise Dynamics\Work\Examples\English\Availability.

Good luck!
