Hello!
I want to know how to make the operator move the tote by schedule.
Here is a simple example.
The operator will move tote to the Queue when it has 20 items inside. How to make totes be transported at 9:00, 9:05 and 9:20, no matter whether it is full or not? And is there any way to close the conveyor at 9:30?
Thank you!
You can create tokens in a process flow a specific times with the "Schedule Source" or "Date/Time Source".
These tokens can then release the current tote from the combiner (regardless of content) or close the input of the conveyors entry transfer (alternatively you could close the output of the sink). Both of these functions are available as options in the "Custom Code" activity. "Control -> BasicFR -> Release Item" and "Control -> Close and Open Ports" respectively.
Attached is an example in which the tote is released from the combiner at 08:04 and the conveyor input is closed at 08:10.
