New to process flow. I was trying to create a "Combine" function in process flow. The model works, but I would like to learn a better/efficient way to do this.
Material 1 and 2 will be created at their own material rack. Operator will bring 1 material from each rack to process and eventually create a brand new item and move to Final Product Queue. Material 1 is 500 meters, material 2 is 2000 meters. After each process cycle, the left over material 2 will be used for next process cycle, till it is gone.
Here is my method:
1. in Material Box: Use "source" to generate tokens and create 3D objects at material racks.
2. Use Task Sequences to control operator to bring material 1 and 2 to Processor. Use "Delay" to process material 1/2 together.
3. At tend of the delay,I use "Destroy Object" to remove material 1.
4. At "Processor", use "Triggers on Exit" to change material 2's shape to visually "Create" a new object.
There is another issue: When the rack 2 is full, model stops with error messages. How can I suspend model to generate more tokens/3D objects when rack is full?
Thank you in advance.
