Check Capacity before routing entity


Recommended Posts

Hello there,

 

this is my first post here and I hope someone can help me with my problem. :)

I´m quite new to Simio and working on my first project.

I have some "return entities" that are considered "bad" at the end of the production.

So they will get collected in a server which is used as a storage and get returned to the factory every 24 hours, to get reworked, if there is capacity left.

Now, I want to check if there is capacity left in the destinated server and in best case, reserve the needed capacity before, before I route these entities towards it.

After the entity arrived in the server, the reserved capacity should get released again.

I couldn´t find a good example here in the forum or via google search, as in the SimBits, how to solve this the correct way.

Maybe someone here can give me a tip, how to.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Usually what I do in cases that I want to check capacity before sending is create a "dummy" Resource. This way I seize its capacity before sending the entity forward. If it has no capacity for a given entity, the entity will just wait until it has capacity.
