Hi, is it possible to direct the cases to each of the conveyor with the following logic: the cases will go to whichever conveyor is 'empty' first (probably could use a decision point for that I guess?)
Thanks!

I think the best way will be to count the number in and out of the two systems and send to the one with fewest items. I've added the logic with a counter on each of the outObject decision points at that junction. A process flow increments and decrements the counters from conveyor entry and exit points.
However you've many issues with the photoeyes - there are some with:
- all stopConveyor labels (1,2,3) but with no pointers.
- no block time so we try and set the speeds whenever an item passes - so for ALL items
- no stopConveyor at all - just the numPEs label but the PE is still a member of a ConnveyorControl process.
This is giving many exceptions to the system console and as we keep stressing to all modellers - these should be fixed and not ignored. If you need help to understand which PEs are causing the errors then we can take a look with you.
