How to make the operator stop being idle and do the task

I have a project where I need my processor (to18 and others) need to complete the process, and then the operator needs to carry the item to the output port. Unfortunately, that does not happen and the operators just stop and stay idle. Any ideas on how to fix this? project.fsm

Hello @Maravilhas ,

I think the problem is how the logic is organized. You have different restrictions on push and pull.

I think some contraints are incompatible: one product is waiting for its destination and at the same time, a different destination demands the product.

To solve this blocking state I have deactivated all the pulls.

Another problem is you don't have cenral connections in the first station. In the attached example I have removed these restrictions.

I hope I have been helpful.
