Hi Everyone,
I have a separator in my model and it separates the pallet and the box, the pallet returns to the loop and the box is sent to a rack. The problem I am facing is the output of this separator is counting both pallet and the box instead of just the box. The pallet is just a carrier and I dont want that to be counted. Any help is greatly appreciated

The Separator counts all objects that exit in its statistics. That is normal behavior.
To get the statistic you want, you have a couple options. The easiest is probably to get the input of the object downstream of the separator. It's hard to tell from the screenshot, but it looks like items would go down the conveyor, and pallets don't. So the input of the conveyor would represent the value you need. The other option is to build a custom Statistics Collector. But that is more involved.
The operator basically grabs the box and delivers it to the FGI rack and the pallet then travels back into the conveyor loop. In short the separator is the last station in the process
Here's a demo model that uses a Statistics Collector to count the non-pallet objects that exit the separator. Maybe this is what you are looking for.
