D EPALLETIZER LOGIC
The figure below illustrates the basic operating behavior and characteristics of a
depalletizer:
The operation is parallel to the operation discussed previously for palletizers.
Product module
D ESCRIPTION
The Product module defines the name of a product being produced in the system. Product
names may be referenced for changeovers, switches, production plans, and may be assigned
to product names in a model. Example names include “candy bars,” “demo boxes,”
“packaging,” “16 ounce,” “32 ounce,” etc.
R
EMARKS
Product names entered into this module are placed onto a product name drop-down list.
If product names are not defined or referenced in the model, the Arena Packaging template
assumes a single generic product is being produced. Thus, Product and Production Plans
modules are not required in a model. These modules are useful if different products are
being processed in the system and there is product-dependent logic (e.g., changeovers or
product-dependent run-speeds, etc.). You must place one Product module for each product
referenced in your model.
