Possibility of mobile pallet racks

Hello,

do you think it is possible to simulate something in Visual Components with the standard warehouse component?
Maybe in connection with the Translational Axis?
The only important thing is the movement of the individual shelves.

Maybe you have some tips.

Thank you

It seems to work quite good with the Translational Axis!

I did this without using any additional Python script, just PM and several Transational Axis…

Wow, exactly as I imagined it.
But I don’t think I would have come to this conclusion :smiley:
How does the warehouse know that 3, 5 or 6 items need to be moved at once to clear the exact route?
Thank you so much

In the Feeder, I already choose in which stack the product is going to be transported, by assigning a number to the product as a Product Property (there is a Product Property Filter in the Stack’s processes). I then sent this Stack number as a signal.
On the other side, I have a process for each Translational Axis waiting for this signal. Instead of waiting for a specific value (“Condition”), they are storing the signal’s value and if it’s smaller than their stack number, they move. (That part could probably be quite easily integrated in a Python script to have fewer processes, but that was a quick try.)
