Mitesh,

need to be a little more specific about what you want to do. Are you using Network Nodes for the paths? If so, you can use a wait for event acitivty in PF to listen to the Arrival Trigger and then decide in PF on your action to be taken.

Good luck

Thanks for your answer. Another topic, how can I make forklift pick two boxes at a time from conveyor?

Mitesh,

since this question totally unrelated to the original post, you should move it into a new one. Anyhow: With the standard conveyor the fork lift has only access to the first item on the conveyor. By pulling the exittransfer around the edge and expanding it, you can give the forklift access to two items or more. You have to set the forklift´s capacity to two and also allow it to break into task sequences, e.g. Same Load Station inthis case.

You should set the software version in your question to the one you are using.
