@muneer.i,

Attached is your model with the changes that I've made. I changed the Decision Point Type code on DP1. That was pretty much it. I believe it is working as you describe now.

Take a look at the model and see if something like this would work for your particular situation. If you have any questions or problems, please let us know.

Thanks.

Thank you, @jeff.nordgren

it will be great support finding a solution for the following case

the system will be block with the item and I would like to stop and delay loading the items to the system when rack 1 and rack 2 reaching a capacity of 70% or any condition avoiding blocking the system.

keep me posted

@muneer.i,

I'm not sure I understand what you are wanting in your last question. It is a question, right? I'm not exactly sure what you are asking.

The reason the model stops (Sources becoming blocked) is because of your code in the OnCreation triggers of both of your Sources. When the Sources reach a certain output number, they are stopped from outputting any more flowitems. Is this the blockage that you are referring to?

Thanks.

If I understand what you're trying to do you just need to change the code in the On Arrival trigger of DP1 to be like this:

if (item.Type == 1 && item.Loop == 3 || item.Type == 2 && item.Loop == 6) {
    Conveyor.sendItem(item, current.outObjects[2]); // Exit Loop
} else {
    Conveyor.sendItem(item, current.outObjects[1]); // Stay In Loop
}
