Time between entry transfer and exit transfer on conveyor?

I have several entry and exit transfer points on a conveyor. Can I get the average time elapsed between one entry point and the consecutive exit point?

I am trying to figure out the average time flowitems are on the conveyor between the two processing points, and I am trying to do it without adding a queue between every entry and exit point.

Thanks!

The best way to accomplish this would be through Process Flow. The two activities you need are the Event-Triggered Source and the Wait for Event. You would use the Event-Triggered Source to listen to the On Entry of a conveyor and then the Wait for Event would listen to the On Exit. The Staytime of the Wait for Event is the time elapsed between entering and exiting.

I've attached a simple model to show how this is done.
