Simple Machine Simulation

I'm new to the simulation world but i have been given some work to do.

I have the data from one day of production that happened last month

I want to simulate the work of one machine that can make up to 96 recipes with different materials that are in different places from the shopfloor.

I know the max quantity of material that each palete or box takes and I know which material and how much I will need for a specific recipe.

I also know the exact time that each recipe was made, when it started, when it ended and how much time it take.

Can someone help me get started in the process flow?

I saw the videos but it didn´t talk about creating different recipes to use in the same machine but using a schedule. In the videos one machine can only do one recipe. Can you help me with this problem?

@luis_rodrigues , item Label "Type" is responsible to update recipes (choose column of recipe table). I set this label on exit trigger of 1st queue. Item Label "component" sends items to output ports number by an expression and sets color.

I understood the components list but now I would like to know How I can make a schedule based on the past day of production that I mentioned earlier
