Complex combiner using a process flow

Hello,

I'm trying to make an example of a combiner using a process flow.

The process would be as follows, 5 items of 4 pieces each one (20 pieces total).This 20 pieces arrives in a random sequence to 2 queues and then they can go to 2 combiner.

The idea is that in each combiner only the pieces of one type enter and order the subpieces by their order and until it end can not enter the next type.

For examples:

Combiner 1: Enter the piece 1 of item type 1>Piece 2 of item type 1>Piece 3 of item type 1....

Combiner 2: Enter the piece 1 of item type 3>Piece 2 of item type 3....

I am able to do it using an important number of "real" combiners, but I would like to try to do it with a process flow similar to how it has done @Regan Blackett in https://answers.flexsim.com/questions/27325/process-flow-for-combiner-1.html.

Do you think it is possible?

@José Antonio MAD

combine.fsm

You can use a batch and set it to batch by type to model a combiner.

Hi, Kari.

I try to make this complex combiner, but I failed.

It's very strange that the Pull from List activity can not pull the right type item.

Query is WHERE Type = token.Type

if someone can help and see the model attached, it will be appreciated.
