Hello all,

I am trying to get rid of the bottleneck that has the green boxes , I added 3 processors but it does not help. What are other ways I can use to get rid of it?

Hi @Abdellah C2

Your model is getting struck at conveyors because the processor is taking lot of time to process. Small suggestion I could give is you can increase the conveyor speed and decrease the process time of the processors.

Is it the thing you need?

Some more observations in addition to what Sri_vikas said:

- There are three processors "BrakepressB" but only two operators to service them. This leads to items often waiting to be moved to the queue, blocking the processor. An additional operator will improve the throughput.

- Due to the interval in which the pallets arrive on the conveyor on the right, the queue in front of the combiner sometimes can't clear an item fast enough, again blocking the output of a processor for some time.
