Trigger Queue


Hi,

I am trying to acheive this result: paletts are created in queue1 using a schedule, using process flow i want the operator to place a palett in queue2 only if there is paletts in queue1 and queue2 is idle. Is there a way to do it all in processflow by using trigger queue2?

Thank you

Event On Content change through or by value in Queue 2. Then a token gets created and a process can start.

hi Joerg,

I tried to trigger on "Decrease to or Through value" but it didn't start!

Could you please take a look at it?

Thanks

The Event-Triggered Source can only trigger when the content actually changes. As such, you need to create a single initial token to kickstart the process.

modelq_1.fsm

You can also remodel the flow so that the 'item-tokens' wait for the queue to become empty. The Wait for Event activity can let tokens through if the current value satisfies the condition in the moment the token enters.
