How can I release products from the warehouse shelf to the conveyor batchwise, for example 3, 10, 15, 4, 1? I have an Excel file which I want to insert, and it’s basically an order file. In the first order, I will release 3 products, then 10 products in the second order like this.
Hello Sushanta!,
You have three options.
1.- Use the default “Feeder Process” Component in Batch mode, which releases at a regular intervals batches of products. You can set different components and different timings for each one. Sadly you can not use any excel file or have much flexibility.
2.- You can use the “Excel Reader” component to get the information from your excel file to make the batch. The component is on the E-catalog inside Data Management. You would need to place a new process node to read the values on the Excel Reader and create the batch using statements.
3.- You can adapt the “VariablesCache” custom statment from the “OrderFeeder” process inside the “Automatic Warehouse System” Public Layout. You can customize it to feed whatever and whenever you like from an excel file.
I hope this helps you as a reference on how to create orders in batches.
Take a look at the Public Layouts and Layout Templates, they contain useful configurations that you can learn from.
If you do not have a lot of orders, it might be better just to make them manually instead of using complex components. Or if you are starting, just use the default feeder with some batch information while you are getting used to Visual Components.
Release products from the warehouse shelf to the conveyor. I have products, say for example 200 in my shelf just i wanted to release them batch wise.
If you already have, lets say 200 products, inside the warehouse shelf component, you can use the “Terminal Process” in the “Flow Components” e-catalog with the Batch configuration or Table configuration for you to use an excel file.
