Process flow : how to avoid two tokens getting into a zone at the same time ?

Hi flexsim community!

I am trying to make two items to be processed sequently. To do so, I created a "basic processor" process flow and attached two "Queues" to it. I want both items being stocked into each queue to be process sequently by using a zone that should restrict the access of the two items at the same time, but when I run the simulation, both items get into it.

Maybe it's because the "zone" is differencing the items by the "Queues" they are stocked into ??

Thank you for your precious help!

So between both instances of the flow, only one token can access the Zone? You should get what you want by setting the Zone to be "Global" and give it a max content of 1. Currently your Zone is set to be Local which means that each object attached to the instanced flow gets it's own instance of the shared asset. Changing it Global means that each attached object has to share the zone, which sounds like what you are looking for.
