Create Task Sequence Without Process Flow

Hello, I was wondering is there in my model to go in order of machines and not have my task executer go back to the beginning until I place my last flow item in the M7 machine. I want to pick up a part then place a part into a machine and go in order of machines even if the previous machine is done for example if I have a flow item done in M1 I want to pick it up and place it in M2 and pick up the finished part in M2, and place in M3 and continue until M7 then come back M1 I know there is a way to do it without process flow if need be I can also try to draw it out on paper.genral-model-g1.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.1.2

stuck process no processflow parts in order

Hi @omer0 ,

Process flow example: genral-model-processflow.fsm

Close port example: genral-model-ports.fsm

In 3D logic, changing the priority of tasks for task executers like you are doing is good when there a multiple tasks firing and ready. However, even if the task executer is waiting for a high priority task, it will still complete the low priority tasks because it is waiting and idle.

There are two ways to do this:

1.You can close the port of processor1 when an item exits by using a trigger, and re-open it once an object leaves processor7.

2. If you want to give more specific custom logic, process flow is the easiest way to do this. I attached a model of creating a task sequence for the task executer to complete before going back to the first processor.

Hope this helps!

The model you attached isn't giving me any error. It also doesn't have any triggers changing the ports so it might be the original model. Can you attach the updated model with the error?
