Operators wait for another operator at Processor

Is there any way to do this?

Operator 1 brings an item from Processor 1 for Operator 2 to process at Processor 2 while operator waits there. When Operator 2 is done, Operator 1 then brings the item from Processor 2 back to Processor 1.

Hi Terra.

Not quite understand what you want. I tried to make a model as you describe, and may it helps~

@jing.chen Hi,thank you, yes something like this, but what if i'm using a dispatcher, how to i assign them, i've attached your model with edited dispatchers.

Hi Terra~

I modified the ProcessFlow to use a label to restore the Waiting-OP from dispatcher for transporting item from P2(Processor 2 for short) to P1. You can see the unload trigger of OP and the transport request of P2. See this attach keep-op-waitv171bychj1.fsm

But I think if you want the logic more flexible, you should try to use all ProcessFlow logic to control the TaskSequence of Transport. I also attach this model keep-op-waitv171bychj2.fsm.

It has two downstreams, and you can add more operator by editing count in the "operator" resource. I strongly recommend reading the " Tutorial-Kanban Labeler" in User Manual for more detail.

May it helps~
