Hi,
I want to use one operator to pull items from one queue to multiple queues. In my source I'm using excel, so in excel I have a label that will tell the operator what queue(1,2) should go to. How can I represent this in a process flow? Also connecting it to a 3D objects
Can you send in your model or a sample model of exactly what you are trying to do? It's hard to answer your question without seeing what you are trying to accomplish.
Thanks.
Hi,
I don't want to have the operator connected as a center post to the queue because I will be adding more cells and the operator will have to pick from different queues in the future not only from one as you will see in the attached picture.
@alejandra.n2, here is a model that does what you are looking for...I think. :) The basic idea, is that I put all the destination queues onto a global list called QueueList and gave them a label called "Queue" which would be their ID#. Each item has a label called QueueNum that it uses to query the list and find the matching queue. "WHERE puller.QueueNum = Queue" Using this method, you can also make the choice of which queue to go to based off of destination content or some other factor. I also don't actually remove the entry from the list when I pull because I want it to be available for other items as well.
If the destination isn't a queue, maybe a processor with a max content of 1 for instance, you could do pretty much the same thing but with a resource instead of a list.
