Conveyor Routing to Decision Point (DP)

I would like the bottles at DP62 to go as this priority: first go to DP 100, if there are more than 7 bottles on Conveyor 1 then the bottle should go to DP 32, if there are more than 7 bottles on Conveyor 2, then go to DP39. I tried a bunch of codes and things still did not work.

Also, similarly, I want bottles at DP 17 to go to DP66, if Conveyor 4 has more than 7 bottles, then the bottles have to go to DP98. Can someone help me include this logic? I attached the model I have with a bunch of few things I tried out and did not work. Thank you.

Hey @Lubna T, you attached screenshots but no model.

As for the logic, here's an example that demonstrates what you want. You can set a label on a DP that keeps track of the number of bottles that are in the current lane. You increment it as bottles pass it and decrement as they leave the system. Then you send bottles to different conveyors based on that label.
