How do I send item 1 to many conveyors (upon availability), while item 2 to one conveyor at the end? I attach my unfinished model just to show how it looks like. the smaller crane at the end is for 1 type, while the other 4 cranes for another type. the item keep sending to one conveyor. do I use sensors? if so, how do I setup the sensors? Help, this is only my 2nd model for flexsim. Thank you in advance.
Hi @Farah_najihah A,
I was able to send items to different conveyors like in your model by using decision points. I have attached a model that shows how I set up the decision points to do this. The first decision port will send items with a type of 1 to the last conveyor, but doesn't do anything with items of type 2. The second decision point sends items to one of three conveyors based on the outport connections.
I wasn't sure how you wanted to account for availability, so I just assumed that all items would flow into a separate queue. Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions.
Hi @Jacob W2 , yes that is exactly what I have wanted! Thanks a lot for your help! I have yet to explore a lot of flexsim functions and configurations. Thank you!!!
Does it means when the conveyor is not available, the item will just pass through the point and later came back since it is a loop? and will only enter once it is available? is that what you are trying to say?
