@Isabel MN

The multiprocessor 3D object only processes one item at a time and does not have option to edit max content.

"When Should I Use a MultiProcessor?

You would use the multiprocessor if you have one station that involves several operations with separate process times and/or different resources. You can also use the multiprocessor as a shared station for different types of operations. For example, itemtype 1 needs to go through operations A, B, C, and D, and itemtype 2 needs operations E, F, G, and H, but both itemtypes must share one station for their processes. Give the multiprocessor 8 processes: A - H, and for itemtype 1 have processes E - H have 0 process time, and for itemtype 2 have processes A - D have 0 process time."

Hello @Isabel MN,

A combiner would be able to batch and process two boxes together.
