How to set the number of objects that the combiner needs to combine?

The order I preset is to produce colored products from P1 or P2 or P3,

After sending it to the combiner, the operator will move the Q2 uncolored carton to the combiner for combination.

Then send to Q3

I just need to combine 1 colored carton and 1 uncolored carton,

But this model will move all the cartons of P1~P3 to a same combiner for combination,

So I want to ask how to set the number of objects processed by the combiner,

I guess this should be solved with process flow,

But is there an easier way? for example triggers

combiner.fsm

Hello @Sia Sengchoon193,

Would it work for you to just add a queue before the combiners?

@Jeanette F sorry～ this may not work, because I will add agv in the future, so that agv will be sent directly to the combiner, so there will not be a queue in front, I hope it can be set directly in the trigger of the combiner
