number of items staying in Floor

I want to display the number of items staying on Conveyor 1, Second_Floor, Conveyor 2 in Global Table.

I do not know how to display the number of items staying in Second_Floor in Global Table.
Is there a simple and easy way to make it?

Hi anonymous user,

One easy way to accomplish this is using process flow. I added the following 5 activities:

The Source creates a token every time an item enters Queue1, and assigns the item to a label called "Item":

Next, the Custom code increments the global table:

Next, the "Wait for Event" waits for that Item to exit Queue4:

The last "Custom Code" decrements the table label.

Make sure to clear the Global table data on rest:

I also added triggers to your 1st conveyor, Processor4, and Queue4 to increment the table as items enter and exit them. See the attached model for more details.
