Please see the picture attached, I would like to recreate this scenio with people instead of robots and a feed conveyor instead of a shuttle with flow item created on demand once a filled pallets also exits this system. Thanks in advance.
How do program a palletizing with reversing conveyor and combiners?

Hi @Dena B,
It's hard to know how to help without looking at your model. To receive a more accurate solution, please post your model or a sample model that demonstrates your question.

Attached is your model with the combiners working as you described. When the pallets enter the conveyor with the combiners a label is incremented that counts the number of pallets in the system. When three pallets are in the system it closes the ports to the pallet source stopping any new pallets from entering until one passes the decision point at the end of the conveyor which decrements the number of pallets in the system. If you have any questions regarding how this works feel free to reach out.
