How can I have both operators pack and place parcels on the conveyor?

Hi everyone, I'm a beginner in using FlexSim. I have a question.

Currently, I'm working on a simulation of the packing process. The workflow is as follows: one operator does the diaper packing, and then another operator places the parcel on the conveyor.

In my model, I've changed the processor object to a packing station table. At the packing station table, there are two operators performing the packing process.

My question is: how can I enable both operators to engage in the packing activity and place the parcels on the conveyor? Is it possible for these operators to move as if they were actually packing?

Thank you very much!

When you use more than one operator you need the dispatcher to have access to more than one operator (on it's output ports). In this case you're using operator1 as the dispatcher so need to connect the other other operator as an output from operator1.

You can change the animation of the operator at different stages - look for this in the documenation.

We encourage students to try for themselves - come back if you're still unclear or get stuck.
