Target-Batch-Size-2D

Transporter 2 is required to place the products in random quantities (9 or 18) at location O1. After that, Transporter 3 will proceed to move them to the track I have created. However, I am encountering an issue where Transporter 3 is picking up the products first. How should I address this problem?Input model 1_2222AB23.fsm

Since the next transport is controlled by port-connection logic I would suggest to activate the batch functionality on the queues and set the batch size from the Process Flow before the forklift starts to move any items.

(I also demonstrate how you can shrink down your Process Flow significantly by handling the different pull types through an item label and by referencing the queues through a group.)
