Set color by case

Hello,

How can I set the color of an part?

I have a processor and I would change the color of the part (on exit of the processor) according to a percentage. Red for the 95% of components, Orange for the remaining 5%. So I want assign a label to that object according to the color because, at the end, I have to perform a separation.

Thanks for the support

@Daniele S change the value on your "Set Color by Case" trigger to item.Type.

thank you :)

But the question is a bit different.

In this way I have changed only the color, and no kind of label had been assigned to the object.

For example: Suppose that now I have two processors; one for the polishing and a second one for the washing operation. Each process has a fixed percentage of wastes (which is known). Each waste exits from the processor with a different color with respect a ''good'' component. Red is the color I choose for wastes from the first machine (Cerclage) and Acqua for the second one (Lessiviel).

Whenever a component enters inside the second machine, its color is changed. So, at the end, on the final batch, I will never find a red component. This happens because, if it was red, its color is changed in yellow or Acqua.

How can I solve this problem?

So you want to keep the red ones from changing? I don't understand the issue.

I want to keep the red color.

Briefly: I want to see the damaged component during the entire process.

If the component is damaged at the first station, it is colored with red (because I choose the red color for the first station). If another process damages the same component, i will change its color (according to the color I of that workstation). If the component is not damaged, it does not change color

You can assign instead of a single label value an array. Each time you change the value of a color, you add a value to the array in front of the array. At the end of the process you evaluate the array.
