I have a situation where I have two flow items (boxes) in a queue. But I want one item to go through 3 processors and finish at the end queue before the second item starts. I am able to use close/open ports to hold the second item in the queue while the other is in process, but I'm having trouble "opening" the second item. I have attached a simplified model. Thanks!
@Kevin Megee Connect queue3 to queue2 using a center connection. Then in the properties on queue3 set a trigger on entry to openoutput on current.centerObjects[1].6964-blend-smaple.fsm
@Karipayton, Thanks for your input! for some reason though, it is not working in my large model. I've have the same settings and still nothing. I'll attached my large model to show you.
the 3 queues marked act as the 3 queues in my sample model. I have 2 flow items (pallet w/5 boxes) coming into the "Blending Area". I'm trying to get one flow item to get processed at a time. For some reason the second flow item does not get processed. What am I missing?! Thanks for your help!!zoetis-megeek-formulation-dispatch.fsm
