Hi Team,
I have to control items on section of conveyor. There are 2 items max on the section. Next items will be entered once these items will exit.
I would like to know the best and effective way of doing it.
Thank you!

Hi @Ankur A3! The best way to solve this would be using decision points. Drag in a decision point at the beginning and end of your conveyor and then link them together using the A key. Give the first one a trigger and choose On Arrival -> Area Restriction -> Enter Area and choose Max Content to be 2.
For the second decision point do a similar process and add a trigger and choose On Arrival -> Area Restriction -> Exit Area.
The final model looks like this:
Here's the file:
Thanks!

I like the way you have done it.
Still I can see more than 2 items on conveyor at a time (few items are available on conveyor before decision point). Is there any way to avoid it?
Since you have a conveyor in upstream instead of a Queue. You can place the first decision point in the upstream conveyor.
