Hey!
I want to combine a finished product from several items.
The finish product could either be produced by 1 MGC_S and 2 VCM_N or produced by 1 MGC_M and 2 VCM_N.
How can I tell the combiner to either take 1 MGC_S or 1 MGC_M?
I thought of putting the two Queues for MGC_S and MGC_M onto the same Input-Port on the combiner. Is this possible?
Attached, find my model.
Are you open to the idea of using Process Flow? It may be much easier. You can use a Global Table to reference the components needed for each combination of items.
I considered this, but I only have 1 week left before I have to hand in my thesis and I would love to find a way to make it within a 3D-Model... if that's possible.
How does the combiner know whether it should take an MGC_S or MGC_M item? Does it alternate?
@dominik.k My thought is that you can add a buffer queue with a content of 1 that pulls "Round Robin" from the two other queues. This is simple, but effective.
If there are more objects involved, it might be better to use Process Flow. Process Flow can be implemented just for this logic while keeping everything else 3D. It's very compatible and easy to set up.
Let me know what you think of this.
