Items go out of a loop conveyor depending on time

Hello All! Am working on a model where items have to go out from the "loop conveyor" to "a conveyor that sorts them and send them to different queues" in an exact time (called Outtime). I the outtime is not reached yet, items must stay in the loop conveyor. I attached my model here modelv33.fsm for further explanation on how the model works. Do anyone know how to use a time parameter to send items please ?

Thank you in advance for your responses.

Hi,

You can use the trigger On Arrival on your first Decision Point. You just have to use a Send Item Activity with the condition below.

If it's too early for an item to leave the loop, the condition will be false : the item will stay in the loop. If not, it will go to your second Decision Point (and leave the loop).
