Repeat processor for the same item.

Hi, i have a model whit 9 processes (including QC). The process start by _1 Cleaning, and need to finish in the same process ( cleaning again). It is possible to repeat _1 Cleaning for the same item and then send it to Q 1?. The bin (source) need to wait for the second cleaning. Currently the model repeat all the process instead to finish the second clean and go to Q1. ThanksRepeat Process.fsm

@Iram A2 ,

If I understood correctly, this model should have the behavior you're trying to get: repeat-process_solved.fsm

To do this is important to know the concepts of Labels and Triggers. In the model attached I first use a Trigger in BIN to assign a Label called "QC3Done" for the FlowItems with the value of 0:

I used another Trigger in QC3 to change the value of the label "QC3Done" to 1 in order to know that the FlowItem already passed that part of the process.

Then in _1 Cleaning I set a Conditional Port option when the Send to Port event is called so that the FlowItems that have a value of 1 in the Label "QC3Done" are sent to Q1.

Finally I also check the Pull Strategy option and set the Pull Best Item, in this way the object will receive first the FlowItem waiting in QC3.

Hope it helps!
