Manual sort baggage carousel

Good day. Please see attached model.Carousels 1.1.fsm

Ultimately I want to use my carousel 3 to sort flow items by item type to the two respective queues by using a continuous pick up point prediction but I have been struggling to get this to work.

Regards

Juan

Connect the decision point to the two exit transfers with "A-connections" and use "Send Item By Case" in the "OnContinue" trigger (or as a second entry in "OnArrival") to determine to which one an item should be send.

To avoid cases where the operators "chase" items until they are stopped at the end of the exit transfer set their acceleration and deceleration to be instantaneous by setting the values to 0.
