Batch Distribution and Processing Workflow Description

"For batch delivery, the first set of tasks from Processor 1, comprising 20 items, will automatically move through the conveyor to Processor 4. The second batch of 30 items will be processed by Processor 2, followed by the third batch of 30 items handled by Processor 3. Once Processors 2 and 3 complete their tasks, Operator 1 will move the items to Queue 1. Items processed by Processor 4 will also flow into Queue 1. This cycle continues with these three batches being processed repeatedly."

How can I implement this operation? Thank you very much !!!

@JasonChen, it seems this is an exercise for an academic degree. It exists an academic policy to assist learners for such projects. I think you find it, if you are looking for it. We will help you, if you have distinct problems, which you describe thoroughly. Batch processing is most commonly performed with combiners. Or if you still want to process each item of a batch separately, then you control an access of involved items by opening and closing inputs and outputs and you count items passing into objects.
