Question1) Can anyone please guide me with proper steps to help me understand how can i track the distance and time the Part takes from source to sink? in the form of dashboard

Question 2) Also if i want that data too for the time and distance record for 8 hours, what steps do i need to take in Statistics collector ?


Please guide with screenshots at least so i can understand what exact parameters to select

In the attached model I set labels to record the model location of the item (center) and the time it was at that location (on the source creation). Then on Queue2 I create a new location label and use a code snippet to calculate the distance using Vec3's magnitude method and print that to the output console along with the time and speed.
