How set only one equipment(Mixer) running at one time

[ FlexSim 18.2.3 ]

Greetings,

I have an enquiry,

Based on the production schedule below, there are 3 recipe that need to mix. Unfortunately, the mixer can only run one at a time due to safety concern? How do I simulate this?

For example, when premixer engine run, the other two premixer must wait for the premixer engine to finish its process...

Each premixer have their designated recipe and they cannot be interchangeable means that only one in order to mix engine we need to use only premixer engine only
May @Patrick Zweekhorst assist me??

Hi @Fakhrusy Sf ,

If I understand you correctly you only want at maximum one token active in the selected part of the processFlow?

If that is the case you can easily solve it by using a zone with a maximum content of 1. (Like in the attached model).

Good luck!

Patrick
