how to take a item from a queue from Process Flow?

Hi,

I am preparing a model comprised of global tables, which are the ítems that have to be processed. They are charged in the Schedule-Source, creating tokens, which Will say due to their labels what queue the operator should go, since each one has a different type.

The problem is that when it comes to load them, the software gives a problem, and I consider that it is because there are not record of that ítem. I know this because if I introduce a wait for event, whose event it is when the separator lays the box, the operator takes that object for the first token. What I can not reach is to do it with all the tokens.

Thank you very much.

It's unclear to me what exactly you want to accomplish. When I look at your model, I did not see any Process Flow. It appears to me that you were trying to use Pull Strategy on a couple of your 3D objects, but do not even have input port connections on the object through which to pull items.

When I run you model, the first error I encounter is on F1. This object doesn't even have input port connections.

Maybe the following post could help steer you in the right direction.

A general comment I have for you is regarding your global table names. It is not a good idea to use special characters in your table name like "." and "/" and I don't even like to use spaces in my table names.

Thank you very much¡

The link that you attached helped me.

I want to mention that the pull strategy was due to the fact that I tried several combinations and that I forgot to change it. Nonetheless, the solution proposed using a combiner is the one that function.
