Problem with process flow 2

Hello,

2op-outro-metodo.fsm

I want the Queue "entrada" to have a limit of 3 cylinders. How can I get that through process flow?

Other detail is that the loading and unloading at the MQL1 and MQL2 must be done 3 by 3 and not the 6 at a time.

Thank you very much!

Hello @Tomas A,

I attached a model with the solutions.

For the capacity of the queue "Entrada" I used a zone that limits the quantity to 1 and checks if there are already items in the queue (the batch quantity is also 3).

For your second question I added a second loop. Before you did: {Load: 6, Unload: 6}, now it's done: { {Load: 3, Unload: 3}, {Load: 3, Unload: 3}}.

I hope I've been helpful.

Thank you very much @José Antonio MD!

Just one last detail. The loads and unloads regarding the MQL1 are made in a different coordinate. I've try to use barriers to solve it but something there is something wrong with it.

Thanks in advance

I suggest adding a network node point somewhere near the MQL1 where it will be used only as a reference load and unload position. Then anywhere in your model where it is going to load or unload from the MQL1, use a travel to activity that tells the operator to move to the network node, then use a move object activity to load and unload. Load and unload activities are really just comprised of these 2 activities.
