How to create a schedule for machine to insert planned time.

HI, i am trying to create a plan for the program run by a machine. In my model the items are queued by their respective program and batched at the queue. Is there any way for me to create a plan such as on 1/4/2024 at 2pm will run Program 42 then at another specified time it will run another program. So, in the model the 4 machine which is systherm, schmetz1, schmetz2 and schmetz3 will need to have this table to insert the planned program that will be run in the machine.SV3_01.04.2024.fsm

There is a datetime source activity in process flow. A processor can read a process time or an output port value from labels. You can set such values for labels or parameters from a process flow activity.

All you have to decide, if an update of process parameters should be applied to already entered items or only to new entering items. Maybe you need to synchronize entering items and updating process parameters, then it is a good practice to read those values from an entering item directly.

My flowitem carries the information on which process they will undergo, so in this case the items have all been batched on their specific queue before going into the processor, will the datetime source create new items or will it allow the item that have been batched with the same program number specified in the date time source. My aim is to make like a schedule so that the I can insert a specific slot at specific time and only that program will run at that specific time all the processor process time are controlled by value by case, so each program have different time based on the items label.
