sorting items by type(1 & 2) and processed number

There are two kind of items type A & B and travel on conveyor, they are traveling form machine 1 to 40, the processed number will count 1 after finish a process. Now I would like know how to decied the direction while arriving at the intersections. Can I use the global table or the other way to find the right route to the machine. (original I use the decision point and on arrival to set the sort by item label, but now there are too much kind of item and type, it's too hard to arrange.)

thanks for everyone's help.

My example model as attachment, it's a simplify model.

There are two kind of items each has the label Route1 & Route2 and type from1 ~8

because the really model is too complex, There are too much intersections and destination queue so that I would like to use global to find the destination for item, how can I achieve by using global or other way to arrange it simply.

If the item label is Route1 & type 1 or 2 → send item to Queue4

If the item label is Route1 & type 3 or 4 → send item to Queue5

If the item label is Route1 & type 5 or 6 → send item to Queue6

If the item label is Route1 & type 7 or 8 → send item to Queue7

If the item label is Route2 & type 1 or 2 → send item to Queue7

If the item label is Route2 & type 3 or 4 → send item to Queue6

If the item label is Route2 & type 5 or 6 → send item to Queue5

If the item label is Route2 & type 7 or 8 → send item to Queue4

thank you so much!

Hi @BING SYUAN L

i have done this model in 3D method.

using decision point in the conveyor helps to flow the items to their respective queue according to your need.

i have done a small sample similar to your model using descison point. hope it is helpful. thankyou
