Zone Limit

I'm working on a model and I putted a zone to limit the palletizer quantity to 2 boxes but it didn't work since if I put a bottleneck the palletizers start stocking more boxes than it's supposed.

The model should stop the "combiner" when the palletizer is full until the transporter unloads the palletizer.

You added a constraint on the number of tokens in each partition. A partition is a group of tokens that share a common property (most commonly a label value), as defined in the "Partition By" field on the partitions tab. Your partition is defined by the token itself, so each token creates its own partition. All in all, you set a limit that each individual token can only enter the zone up to two times.

To have a general limit on the overall number of tokens in a zone, use the setting available in the quick properties.

That's due to the extra "table" item that gets moved into the queue before both it and the combiner output are moved to the sink. So for 0s the queue can contain three items. But never more than two from a combiner.

Okay makes sense thank you very much.

I have also an error with an external code to export all charts at the same time, can you give it a look?
