Can i make crane utilized when processor is in use

Hi,

I am trying to make a simulation where when the processor is in use, the crane and operator will also be there to assist the job.

Is there a way to do that?

Yes - the easiest way might be to can use a subflow for the pickoperator field.

That subflow should:

• stop the the processor with STATE_WAITING_FOR_OPERATOR
• create task sequences for the taskexecuters
• give tasks for the task executers to travel to the processor.
• resume the processor when they are both there.
• place the operators in state UTILIZED or give them a TASKTYPE_UTILIZE
• detect the end of processing
• finish the task sequences (and free the TEs from the utilize task if you issued that).

I've given you links in your other post for you to look up some of this.

As a student we encourage you to try this for yourself and then come back if you encounter problems or, having read the documentation find there are still concepts you don't fully grasp.
