I have a question about this attached model "simulation_01.fsm".
Currently, the red box is split into two parts, one that goes into the tote and shipped, and one that becomes an empty box.
Is it possible to split this into three like the attached image and put one in each of the two totes, creating an empty box?
Hi @tomonori S,
I used a quick Process Flow to achieve the logic you described. Hopefully this is what you imagined. I had an Event-Triggered Source listen to the separator and then create a token. The token acquires an operator and then loads/unloads each of the three items created by the separator into their respective areas.
Let me know if you have any questions regarding the logic.
Please tell me the setting method when the number of processes increases like the attached model "split-box-three-01.fsm". (Do you need more than one process flow?)
In the actual completed model, there are 16 processes, of which multiple are divided into 5 by a separator, one becomes an empty box, and the logic is to put two flow items in two totes.
Is it possible to create such logic using only 3D objects without using a process flow?
The more processes and items you have, the harder it will be to control using 3D objects. I would consider using Process Flow to handle the majority of the logic if you're going to expand this model.
By using Process Flow, you can listen to arrivals at certain objects (like Processors or Queues), then create/destroy objects and move them however you would like. I recommend reviewing the Process Flow tutorials on this. Attempting this with only 3D object logic is much more difficult and will not allow you to adjust settings easily.
