When a rack full of parts, lets say a rack has 10 parts in it. when the rack enters the separator, i would like to know the number of contents in the rack so that if the content reaches certain number such as 2 or 3, i would like to send another rack to the separator.

Hello @Ankith T,
You can have an on entry trigger that looks like this. Line 5 is the code to see how many items are on the pallet.
i want to use process flow for this. if i use on entry, i will get the number of items when item enter the separator. but want to have a flexibility to check when ever i need. i have pasted the small flow chat what i exactly needed. all the logic i mentioned in the flow chat is based on process flow.
Sorry I misunderstood a detail from your original post. I would still use the on entry trigger but in process flow. Then calculate how many need to exit the separator to then trigger the next retrieval.
But, lets say separator is doing its own work and i have a new rack at the source location. now i want to see how many parts are there on separator, if it has < 2 or may be 0 parts then i want to take this new rack to the separator, how does this can be possible if i used on entry trigger for separator
