How to produce according to the product that the customer consumes?

FabricaFinalpruebapull2.fsmcusI want to be able to produce a unit of (type 1 or type 2) red or green plate depending on what the customer consumes. In the attached model I have managed to make the sold products (red, green or defective) go to Queue 3, which pushes it to a list (Sold Products). It is then Queue 2 that pulls that list and produces what the customer is consuming. But I don't want queue 2 to take the Queue 3 products (as a cycle), that is to say, I want the operator to take 1 sheet according to the products sold, either from the Alm_rojo1 or Alm_verde1 queue. How could I get it?

Hello @Beatriz DT,

I'm a bit confused because there is nothing entering the queue ProductosVendidos or Queue 3. Because of that, nothing is being pushed to the list for Queue 2 to pull. My understanding is that you're trying to get the operator to move items from queue 2 depending on what enters queue 3. Is that correct?

Hi @Beatriz DT, I think I know what you were asking now. You were very close to having it working. I changed how Queue3 pushed items to the list, instead of on the Send to Port I did it on an 'on entry' trigger. I also added a bit of process flow that creates a token when items leave 'Corte 1 con plantilla.' These tokens then pull from the Productos Vendidos list and create a task sequence for the operator to transport the item to Queue2. The items on the list are put in partitions based on the label Tipo so the green pull green and red pull red.

Note: I also changed the plane to not move. If you want to change it back you can click on the tree, find 'plane 12' and uncheck this box:
