Changing conveyor speed based on number of items

Is it possible to make conveyor speed depend on the number of flow items (number of flow items known in the arrival schedule or the total number of flow items that have accumulated in/passed a queue)?

Either a literal function of the number of flow items or have a slow/fast setting that is triggered when the number of flow items in a queue goes below/above a specific number?

Yes, you can change the conveyor speed with a custom code activity in a process flow.

Here's a simple example that slows the conveyor speed once 10 flowitems have entered the queue.
