Transporting flowitems one by one after separator

Hello everybody,

I am in working with a simultion where I have to hadle batches. In a specific point, I have to transport objects from a Separator to a Processor with a crane. I would like to set that logic with Process Flow, but crane get blocked due to the tokens that stay in the Acquire activity (see Picture).

I wonder why, after the Release Activity, a token does not go down and continiues the PF. I also attach the .fsm if helps.propio-cranes.fsm

Thanks in advance,

José.

Hi @José Ignacio MN,

On your release activity, you are trying to release the resources assigned to token.resource. In your Acquire activity, you assign the resource to token.portico. If you change your Release activity to match your Acquire, this should fix your problem.

release.fsm
