How to get items flow into different processors?

type2fsm.fsmHi there,

How can I get the items go into different processors?

In the picture attached, the items are only flowing into one processor and causing bottlenecks.

Appreciate very much for your help.

Hi @Yi Jing L,

I have a built a similar model for your reference. I have created different item types and color for your easy understanding.

keeping a decision point in the conveyor and adding the correct trigger helps to transport different item types to flow in different processors as per your request.

@Yi Jing L

You can use round robin method in the decision point to send items to different conveyor lane. I have reattached your model with changes.

Hope this is useful.

Thanks.

Hi @Yi Jing L,

The answer you're looking for is using a decision point, but there are several use cases for them depending on the logic you want to point items to a specific processor. I'd recommend you work through the conveyors tutorial found in FlexSim. It guides you through how to use decision points pretty well.

Find it at Guide > Tutorials > Additional Tools Tutorials > Tutorial 1 Conveyors > 1.1 - Sorting Systems

Hope this is helpful!
