Question, there are two operators on the line. I want to simulate the following scenario: the source produces 24 products, the first operator give way 12 units for second operator and get the next 12 units and so fourth. How can I simulate it using 3D station object?
Thanks7
I've built a sample based on what you've described. The first station allows 12 items to go through untouched to the second station, where they are processed. Then, the next 12 items are processed at the first station and are untouched at the second station. I used a "Count" label on the first station that tracks how many items have passed through the station, which is used to indicate whether an item should be processed or sent along.
The "Complete" label on the items is used to indicate whether an item has been "processed" or not yet. The second station is the station primarily concerned with this label as this is how it knows whether to stop and process an item.
All this is done using labels and triggers. You could do the same thing with Process Flow. Hopefully this gives you some ideas.
If you attach the model that you're building, it will make it easier for us to understand the process and provide an accurate solution.
Hello Tanner, This is the model that I am trying to built.
I dont know how to connect objects stations to conveyors and operators to stations...can you help me pls
You connect operators to objects by holding S and clicking ad dragging between the operator and the object. You connect objects in a flow sequence by doing the same, but with the A key. If you do not know this, I would strongly recommend going through the tutorials before asking more questions.
