Flow items movement issue

Flowitem issue_v1.fsm


Hello team,

Box should move to other station when it is available.

Boxes should not accumulate between the stations

One box process on combiner and then transfer to other station if the station is available.


Thanks in advance

For the flow on the conveyors, use the Area Restriction options in the stations's triggers. To control the entry onto the conveyors, you can close the combiner's output after each exit and have it open again once the item resumes from the first station.

Thanks @Felix Möhlmann


If there is a station in between rework linked stations the logic is not working.

The station that decides whether to send the item to the rework loop is too far forward for the redirect to be possible. The leading edge of the item must not have passed the center of the transfer yet for that to be possible.

So either move that station back or decide on the rework on the previous station (Set Label option from OnProcessFinish trigger)
