Dynamically change the slug gaps based on rules.

I want to change the gap between slugs dynamically. can anyone help and explain how i can do it.

Context: based on the number of totes int he recircle lane i want to increase or decrease the gap between slugs. Forexample: there is a process continuously monitoring the recirculation totes count. when the count hits 10 totes i want the gap to be increased to 10 meters from 7 m( under normal condition), if the count hits 15 then the gap is increased to 13 meters. then if the count comes back to 10 again then reduce the gap to 10 meters.

Hello @Sachin T,

The label is set at the beginning of the Gap optimizing merge controller process flow. I just added to the assign label activity called calculate release time to update the label assigned to the token before it calculates the release time. I emailed you with the model.
