Dispatcher and TaskExecuter

Hi, in my model I have two problems .

In Processor 1 I want that the TaskExecuter continue with the item to the Processor 22. With the first truck it works correctly, but with the second truck, it stay in the processor 1 and the Item waits to the first truck.

In Processor 22, I want that the truck wait in the Processor until the crane pick up the item.

Thanks

Regards

Hi @pedro.a5,

The problem is as soon as the first item leaves processor1, it has claimed processor22. When the second item finishes processing in processor1, it has to wait for the first item to travel to processor22, process, then exit.

One easy way around this is to use process flow. I made a simple process flow like this:

This process flow does not move the item to processor22 until it actually arrives there. Please see the attached model for details.
