Human Otto and Shelf Trolley. Walk backwards

Process Modeling

Hello folks, the following situation:
The worker is to transport two components on the trolley.
When turning, the trolley slides through the walls.
Is it possible to set the operator to move the trolley backwards a little?

Hello,
you can add a PickApproach (for all TransportLinks if you do it in the Human Transport Controller, or for a specific link if you select this link and activate its “UseCustomParameters” property).

One problem that will happen here, is that Otto will go backwards beetween both products he picks, which is not ideal. You can solve it by using a Mission Controller, in which you configure 3 steps:

  • CollectTool (Trolley)
  • Collect (from the Feeder with “CollectAll” activated)
  • Deliver (from the Sink, with “DeliverAll” activated)
    That way, he will get the 2 products without going backwards in between.

PS: nice representation of the crash!
