Releasing unpacked items from separator individually after a custom delay

Hi I am trying to release unpacked items one at a time with a specific delay. I tried closing and opening input ports on down stream conveyor or transfer using a process flow, but does not seem to stop all unpacked items from releasing at once. The behavior I am trying to achieve is as follows:

1. Packed flow item gets unpacked taking zero seconds (I am using a separator for this)

2. Each item unpacked takes X seconds of processing time (different from separator processing time)

3. Processed item is released to down stream conveyor

4. Until the batch size to be unpacked has completed processing, the separator does not allow new pallet to be processed.

Hello @Rahul R5,

You could add a processor between the separator and the conveyor. It will then process items one at a time from the separated pallet.
