I already solve the confusion by shuffle certain product that got confused.

Now I encounter another problem..

My blender 13 cannot find "B114A002_Engine_Premixer" find port source but the product already finished transferring.

I already check the connection between the two and I am sure that the connection is being established.

Hi,

It seems like the recipe for Blender13 is looking for the product called B114A002_Engine_Premixer19. However, none of the connected objects is creating that product, the available products are:

  • Port 1 (T4960_J150): J150
  • Port 2 (T4961_SN500): SN500
  • Port 3 (T4963_ETRO4): ETRO4
  • Port 4 (T4964_BS150): BS150
  • Port 5 (T4966_DG1046): DG1046
  • Port 6 (T4967_DG1036): DG1066
  • Port 7 (T4968_KIXXLUBO): KIXXLUBO
  • Port 8 (T4969_DG1127): DG1127
  • Port 9 (T4970_J500): J500
  • Port 10 (T4972_ETRO6PLUS): ETRO6PLUS
  • Port 11 (T4973_ETRO4PLUS): ETRO4PLUS
  • Port 12 (T49401_ETRO6): ETRO6
  • Port 13 (T49402_M500): M500
  • Port 14 (T49403_SN150): SN150
  • Port 15 (T49513_DG1135): DG1135
  • Port 16 (T49514_V122): V122
  • Port 17 (T49502_M500): M500
  • Port 18 (T49510_DG1140): DG1140
  • Port 19 (T49511_VG1071): VG1071
  • Port 20 (T49512_OCP25): OCP25
  • Port 21 (T49501_ETRO6): ETRO6
  • Port 22 (Premixer_19): B114A001_Engine_Premixer

Based on the name of the product in the recipe I think you expected premixer_19 to contain B114A002_Engine_Premixer19 but instead it has B114A001_Engine_Premixer which is a different product.

You have three possible solutions:

  1. Change the product type of Premixer_19 to match the one expected in the recipe
  2. Change the recipe to expect the product that Premixer_19 produces
  3. Change the Product Source pickoption to "Use product source table" and do all port mappings manually

I think option #3 quickly becomes a headache so I propose looking into #1 or #2.

For the working principle of the simulation is as below:

For premixer19 ,

  1. the first product that going to be process is B114A001_Engine_Premixer mixing and transfer to Blender no 10
  2. B114A002_Engine_Premixer19 that are needed by Blender no 13 is going to process right after the "B114A001_Engine_Premixer" finish its process..

Therefore, the line of premixer must be dynamically change its recipe according to the production schedule. Thus, I expect both of the product (B114A001_Engine_Premixer & B114A001_Engine_Premixer) need to be produce by premixer19.

DId Mr @Mischa Spelt clear on it??

@Mischa Spelt

According to the schedule,

1658231748532.png

All of the product commence at the same time, means the two engine product (B10 & B13) ran at the same time. During the token being created , B10 (B114A001_Engine_B10) got the content from premixer 19 ( B114A001_Engine_Premixer) while B13 (B114A002_Engine_B13) that's looking for B114A002_Engine_Premixer not found due to the first product(B114A001_Engine_Premixer) that still went through the process. That's why it cannot detect its content that is looking for because the required content is started late after the first product finished processing.

Is there a solution for this problem ? @Mischa Spelt

Instead of starting the recipe immediately, you could use a Wait For Event to wait for the first mixer to finish processing the batch. Then if you do a loadRecipe once the mixer has the correct product, it should be found by the second mixer.

It there any possible way in order to prevent the use of wait for event because I want my blender starts transferring while waiting for their own respective product?

Because I want to simulate the real life condition
