For example: To make two different products with different time cycles(or process times) (to plastic injection for example), when I use the same machine to produce these items. How can I do to put two different cycle times ?

Hello @Caio Santiago, attached it is a model in which you can see how to set different process time for different products. You will see I set the Item Type in the OnCreation trigger in the Source and then, from the processor, process time is set depending on this by using the By Case option.

Hello

You can use Multi processors

Hello @Roi Sánchez, thank you for your answer.

But, do you knhow how can i do to put a batch size. For example, i need make 100 parts with time process of 100 seconds and 300 parts with time process of 50 seconds.

Ok Ali F12, but this is to put 2 processors to make 1 product. I want the inverse, 2 diferentes products in only one processor.

After the processor(s) you can use the combiner, to combine each product together and return in one:

• Processor1-->Box

--------> Combiner--> Palletized Box

• Processor 2--> Pallet

1.

Image below you can see the boxes comes from the box maker mashine and the palets comes from the pallet mashine, the center unit is the combiner that its combine the boxes and the pallets and amke 1 new product and the robot do storing

hope this can help to you!

regarding to the procces time its easy to seting up both mashines procces time!
