I'm trying to simulate a part of an inbound logistic of an automotive manufacturer under the assumption of a just-in-sequence storage.
Implemented should be one source which is creating four different products. For now I realized this with a Trigger on creation and exit.

Trigger on creation: 4. Ordered icons: products are assigned 4 types of icons in repeating sequence starting with icon number 41
Trigger on exit:

Do(
Label([row], i) := 1 + Trunc((Output(c) - 1)/4),
Label([column], i) := 1 + Mod(Output(c) - 1, 4)
)

Could you moreover please explain me the function of "Trunc((Output(c) - 1)/4)" and "Mod(Output(c) - 1, 4)" a bit more precisly?

The current status is shown in the following picture and the sequence of placing the products in rows and colums is kinda correct for me. But..

The actual goal is, that the first brown product coming in is put in the fourth row then the pink one in the third and so on.. Like in the second picture below.

Welcome to the Enterprise Dynamics community!

You already discovered that the basic assignment within the ground storage is done by setting the labels "row" and "column" on the products. If I understand your question correctly, you want to assign the columns based on the icon of the products. Hence, the code on the Trigger on Exit has to be adjusted.

In order to do this you might want to look at the basic Enterprise Dynamics functions in the Help. You can open the Help by pressing F1. The basic functions can be found in "4DScript Reference Guide > 4DScript Categories > Category Basic".

In the Help you can also find more information about the functions "Trunc", "Mod" and "Output".

I hope this helps!

Kind regards,
Gabe-Hein

Of course I can help again!

It looks like there is code on the ExitTrigger of the GroundStorage which calls the attribute "ExitTrigger" of the product. An attribute with this name does not exist on the product, an hence you get an error.

My advice would be to check the code on the ExitTrigger thoroughly and possible comment out certain parts of the code to pinpoint the exact location of the error.

If this does not work, a possibility would be to share your model (on this forum or through my email: gabe-hein.dijkstra@incontrolsim.com).

Kind regards,
Gabe-Hein

Thank you for sharing the model.

Whenever I run the model, I do not get any errors. There also is nothing placed on the exittrigger of the ground storage.

Are you certain this is the model you are getting errors with? If so, can you send me your Enterprise Dynamics version so I can replicate your exact setup. You can find the version of Enterprise Dynamics by opening the interact (Shift + F6), typing the word "Version" and pressing Execute.

Kind regards,
