How to use retain labels on Mass Flow Conveyors?

Hi Team,

I want to use mass flow conveyor in model partially, but I observed in trial model that I am losing the item information mentioned in labels.

Could you help to know what is the best way to retains label values?

Thank you!

@Ankur A3, you have already noticed that there is not a node of a Flow Unit. And you have probabaly tested that a photoeye can not detect flow unit items. There is problably a syntax to get access to an internal flow unit property.

I can only suggest to store your data at a node structure like treenode, table, token, list and read this data on exit according to the sequence of entry.

This was discussed already shortly after the mass flow conveyors were introduced. I posted a possible workaround to reassign label values when the flowitems are recreated as a comment to the post.
