Direct operator to processor in process flow based on processor's availability

Two Processor in Task Sequence.fsmHere is my model.

In the First model:

I used process flow to generate tokens and 3D objects, used task sequences to control operator to travel, load and unload 3D objects to Processor. it works fine.

In the Second model:

If I add second Processor, How should I handle "station" to point to Processor Group, so the operator will unload to the right processor when its available?

Thank you very much

You have an acquire activity in your model to choose a processor. Which label do you assign in this activity at the token? This label acts as a destination or a station in the unload activity.

Obviously you have set a different name for the label at each acquire activity.

Hello Joerg, Thanks for pointing out a direction for me. I was able to follow your thought and fixed the issue.

at Acquire Processor, i set a new label: token.processorGroup

Again, thanks for your help. two-processor-in-task-sequence_7.fsm
