Item not moving on processor

In the attached model, when items are being processed, some of them are not conveying across the processor when they are being processed. What are some of the potential causes of this?

Hi @Nicholas D2 , this is because there is a conflict between 3D and process flow logic. Specifically, multiple events are occurring at the same time. While the Processor attempts to pull the item out by some output port, the Move object from the item is trying to move the item to the destination queue. If you pay attention it only happens when the queues are empty because the processor finds a free port to exit the item from the processor. To resolve this conflict between events you can use a Delay with time 0 that is often called Breathe, in order to make sure that all previous events have ended before performing the move object. Anyway, I would recommend you using all 3D connections because it is a simple routing logic that you can do easily without using processflow. I attached you both model options.

If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask me. Begoña.
