How to use only 1 transporter for moving all stations with different speed and transportation time data between stations?

1. Picking up raw materials = transportation time 18.43 minutes with a speed of 0.03 m/s.

2. Carrying semi-finished goods from Mesin Bubut = transportation time 6.9 minutes with a speed of 0.3 m/s.

3. Lifting semi-finished goods to the assembly process = transportation time 6.4 minutes with a speed of 0.01 m/s,

4. Carrying finished goods to the putty place from the assembly machine = transportation time 14.54 minutes with a speed of 0.19 m/s,

You could change the maximum speed of the transporter in the On Load trigger depending on where it loads from.

To get the time to match you will then need to calculate the required distances and set the virtual distance of the network paths accordingly.

why the process stops after the product is in Penyimpanan Barang Jadi?

Because I changed the source to only create a single item to better showcase the material flow (and because you don't mention any empty travel speeds, so I made it so there is no empty travel).

I noticed a mistake in the screenshot I shared. I obviously meant to vary the name in the condition, not in the setProperty command.
