Hi, thanks for your attention, I need to simulate a conveyor that separated one product (trash cover) in many products (cardboard, paper, glass), this process is in a conveyor and it is realise with operators, I don't know how can I get people to separate in the band and put in their closest storage and it is divided for kind of material. Thanks for your help.

You can set a type for each item that goes onto the conveyor to represent the different products you have to sort. Then by placing a Station on the conveyor you can connect an operator to that location and specify what the operator should do when a certain Type of product arrives by setting a Trigger.

Please take a look at our Tutorials for using Conveyors for further ideas on sorting product.

Thanks for your help, I will try to use your method but it required one via processflow. In addition I have the problem that in any station, the operator need to separate many products, The image attached show how is the configure that I need. Thanks for you attention!!!!!!

You have a stream of products, A station can only extract some products of the stream in an interval of time. This length of this interval is statistical distributed. During this interval you extract those items or only some of them that are currently in scope of the station. Then the station doesn’t extract for another interval of time nothing from the conveyor. Both intervals of time together define the output rate of the station. Each extracted item has a label telling you which class it is and the operator will transport it in the right destination at his/her working place.
