How do you create universal presses, that can run multiple materials?

Hi,

I've got 6 materials.

I want to process these through 2 presses, based on which press is free with material availability.

Each material has one tool so can only run in one press, not at the same time in two presses.

Each material needs to go to a queue assigned specifically for that material.

Where do i start?

I can run them, but the same material is being processed in each press at the same time.

Thanks

Hello @Michael C20,

I created a sample model that I will email to you. I used a Zone to limit the tokens (they reference the flow item) that could pass through. The Zone uses a partition by the Type label to limit only one token of that Type.
