Floworks: Tank Poll ProcessFlow

Hi,

I am modeling a process where I have two input sources of the same product and each source needs to be aligned to different tanks, because the tanks' input flow supports only one source and also because the products are from different origins. After that, the tanks need to fill to their maximum capacity, certify and send the product, aligning one tank at a time.

I am implementing this model using the "ProcessFlow tank poll" in the "Entry control". Is it possible to open two doors and the tanks receive from two sources?Test Pool Tank.fsm

Hi @Kelvin Barbosa ,

For that I would add an entry to the tank pool:

And instead of having 1 token looping round in the entry flow I would create 2 tokens. Which have a reference to the Entry pump (I created a group for this):

With this there are two tokens looping round and filling the tanks.

Does this help to solve you question?
