question

The answers are all in the question, so I'm wondering with which parts you're struggling.

1) Stop the bin at a station on the conveyor.

• This is probably best done by detecting the bin arrival in a process flow with an event triggered source - you can then use the same invocation token of the process to generate tasks to get the items and resume the bin when everything is complete.
• When the token is created you want to keep a reference to the bin by assigning a label for it using the arriving item as the value.
• Stopping the bin is a control option in a custom code activity - you just need to select the one that says stop item on conveyor.

2) Get references to the items to put in the bin.

• This can be more tricky since there are many ways deoending on where they are and how the model is set up. One is to have items already on a list and pull 5 using the token that was created - this will create an array on a label of your choosing.

3) Create jobs to load the items to the bin

• Now you have an array you can create a subflow to load and unload the items to the bin. Examples are here on the forum
• You need a reference to the operator and to create tasks for the operator to perform the loading and unloading.
• You need to decide if the operator can handle more than one box at a time or carries them individually.

4) Resume the bin along the conveyor.

• When the loading has been done the token will leave the runsubflow and you can use another custom code with the standard option to resume the item on the conveyor.
