Stations   

A Station is an object you can use to add processing points into the conveyor system. The station works very much like a standard Processor object, except that it is placed as a point in the conveyor system, instead of as an object outside of the conveyor system.

The majority of the settings for a Station are found in the Station's Type settings. For more information, see:

Statistics

Stations track the following statistics. These can be viewed by clicking on a station and then viewing the Statistics pane in Quick Properties.

  • Content The number of items being processed by the station. This will always be either 0 or 1.
  • Input The total number of items that have started being processed by the station. Note that this may be different than the total number of items that have conveyed over the station, depending on whether the Process Condition always processes items.
  • Output The total number of items that have finished being processed by the station. Like Input, this may be different than the total number of items that have conveyed over the station.
  • Staytime The time from when an item arrives at the station to the time it is finished being processed. This is only recorded for items that are actually processed at the station.
  • State The station uses the following states:
    • Idle The station is not processing an item.
    • Processing The station is processing an item.
    • Waiting for Operator The station is waiting for an operator to come to process the item.
