Hi! This issue seems to be simple but I don't know how to program it: the model has 3 racks and each rack contains a type of item (identified by a label on previous source). The racks are connected to a Processor. I wonder if it is possible to program the Processor to work on a schedule. This is, the Processor process a kind of item at 8 am (example), then it process other item type as ordered, and so on.
Thanks in advance!

Hi @Diego OE,
Yes, it is possible for your processors to work on a schedule. Check out the following documentation:

For your additional requirements, it would probably be best to program the logic using process flow. Here try out some of these tutorials to get familiar with it:

@Benjamin W2 hi, i am facing a similar problem to that in the article.
i need to tell the queue to send items to the processor based on a priority OR a priority list
that is to have a list with item types in a certain order and the queue sends the available items based on that order (if an item is absent then it looks for the next)
is that possible?
@Muhammad A4, please create a new question. It hasn’t got any relation to time tables. Thanks!
