Need guidance why tote and item cannot separate at decision point

FINALV3.fsmHi there,
I would like to seek guidance on why after I have separated the Tote and my item, both of them bypass the decision making I have set where only the Tote should return back to the rack and the item should continue the conveyor and exit to a sink.

I have tried changing the type to SubType and even putting the decision point to read SubType to 201 and 301 but to no avail......

Hello!

I think I got what you need.

First, I moved a little your Desition Points, I think this was not the error, but prefer to have them visually organized. Then I changed the trigger on the first desition point, to evaluate the label SubType instead of Type.

I also added a trigger on the tote rack to give them, since the beggining, a value of 4 in the label SubType, so they take the right way to the queue, based on the trigger on the first desition point.

Please tell me if it helped you!

Please tidy up your conveyor and remove exit transfers. You need them if items must leave a conveyor system.If they stay, then there are conveyor transfers.

You need a condition that distinguish between parts and totes. I think of number of labels or label subnodes like

 item.attrs.labels.subnode==1 

as a condition to divert items to an outobject connection to a decision point.
