Force operator to empty hands

Chisholm31 — Wed, 22 May 2024 14:38:28 GMT

[ FlexSim 24.1.0 ]

I have an issue where the operator is unloading the machine they will hold onto a single bottle. I know this is because they are prioritizing reloading the machine but it means they are loading one at a time rather than 2 at time due to the space being used up by the processed item. I am otherwise happy with how they are behaving in that they fill them up and then work there way back up the line again unloading and reloading but I would like them to ensure that their hands are empty before they begin to reload. Is there an easy fix for this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @Jeanette F,

I am just using the free trial. I am basically doing this to show my colleagues that we should be doing modelling and simulation like these!

To get full control over this you should probably be using process flow rather than the port logic built into the 3D objects.

Can you please suggest the tutorials I should be looking at for this? I am finding the process flow part of this quite confusing

Try the task logic tutorials.
