Dear all
We are three supply chain engineering students tasked with simulating a picking system in JaamSim. There are a total of 8 zones, each with a specific number of waiting places. If a bin needs to be in a particular zone, it will join the queue there. If the bin does not need to be in the zone, it will simply continue along the conveyor belt. Now, if the waiting zone (no more waiting places) is full, the bin will continue along the belt and take a tour. So, as long as the queue for that zone is full, it will continue to tour until a spot becomes available. Additionally, it is possible for a bin to go to multiple zones.
However, we are facing a problem where we need to specify to JaamSim that some bins, depending on the probability distribution, should be in a certain zone, but we also need to remember that if a bin needs to go to, for example, zone 1 and it has already been there, it will not return there again. The assistant for our course has only confused us more with their feedback.
Could you please provide tips on how we can simulate this? Also, tips on how to fill in the attribute definition list for the SimEntity would be appreciated.
Thank you for your time
