Default How to configure model so that specific transporters can visit specific racks?

Hey,

I would like that only specific transporter can move itemtypes to specific racks. For example I have six racks: A, B, C, D, E, F, and I would like that only transporter1 can move itemtypes to racks A and B, and thus transporter2 moves itemtypes to racks C, D, E and F. From single queue the itemtypes are sent randomly to any available port, rack. I would just like that specific transporter can visit only particular racks.

How should I configure my model to achieve this goal? Should I configure Queue, dispatcher or transporter setups? I have attached in this message my example model related to this question.

Best regards
Johannes Paimela

In the "use transport" trigger you have access to the port the item is send to. So there you can create a simple if then else or a case statement.

if port = 1 or port = 2 use transporter connected to centerport 1 else
if port = 3 or port = 4 use transporter connected to centerport 2 etc....
