Operation Mergesort

Good morning.

I have a question about how to operate conveyors in FlexSim.

I attach the file for you to review. In the following simulation I need the output transporter to only admit one type of item at a time. That is, when one of the lateral transporters releases 10 items, the long transporter is only occupied with those items until it is completely released, and then allows to continue loading another 10 items regardless of the departure order.

mergesort.rar

I hope you understand what I want to achieve.

Thank you very much for your attention.

Regards.-

FlexSim 7.7.4

Luis,

I moved the decision point to the end of the conveyor so that new items won't enter it until it's cleared out of the current slug. Is this what you're looking for? Let me know if this helps.merge-sort-solution.fsm
