Hi guys ;)
Can somebody help me with my model. I am trying to set up a configuration for the rack. After collecting 4 pallets it should hold all of them for 200 sec then release them one by one to the sink. After that operator should transport first pallet from queue to the empty rack.
The second question is : how to make source in my model produce 2 flowitems at the same time : 1 red and 1 green.
Thank you so much for your time ;)
Where is the place to hold 200 secs? Queue? or Rack? As you said and made the model, the place is a Rack. But your last sentence is the Queue. What is the exact issue?
Second, you can use a Separator object to copy one item from Source to Two items at the same time after the Source and then you can make them as 1 red and 1 green item.
I attach the model of the second issue.
Here's an example of how you can use Process Flow to accomplish what you're after. I wasn't sure on the second part of your question if the 2 flow items should alternate which conveyor they were sent to, but feel free to comment back if you have adjustments or questions.
The biggest benefit of Process Flow is that you can control the exact behavior of the 3D model without having much logic in the 3D at all. The PF block I made has the items enter a zone with a max content of 4, get sent to the rack using the transporter, collect in a batch, then re-open the output of the rack, allowing items to be sent to the sink. Hopefully this helps!
