I am trying to release the two separate items from two separate queues at the same time and combine them at the end using a combiner. I am making use of Triggers to open and close ports but there seems to be some problem. See the attached model
I understand your goal now. I think that would be easier to accomplish in Process Flow, which has some activities that aid in coordination between different activities. See my attached modification of your model for an example.
Hello @PT2,
To combine the Flow Items together at the end with the combiner, you don't need to synchronize their arrival times necessarily. If one of the parts arrives before the other, it waits until the other gets there before it's able to move on.
Does that address your question?
So, imagine the combiner as an actual assembly station and in order to reduce the waiting time of both items at combiner, the release of the two items have to be timed such that both arrives the combiner at the same time. Currently the model has two processors for each item, however in reality there are several of them before the actual assembly.
