How to get items flow into different processors?

type2fsm.fsmHi there,

How can I get the items go into different processors?

In the picture attached, the items are only flowing into one processor and causing bottlenecks.

Appreciate very much for your help.

Hi @Yi Jing L,

The answer you're looking for is using a decision point, but there are several use cases for them depending on the logic you want to point items to a specific processor. I'd recommend you work through the conveyors tutorial found in FlexSim. It guides you through how to use decision points pretty well.

Find it at Guide > Tutorials > Additional Tools Tutorials > Tutorial 1 Conveyors > 1.1 - Sorting Systems

Hope this is helpful!

Hi @Yi Jing L,

I have a built a similar model for your reference. I have created different item types and color for your easy understanding.

keeping a decision point in the conveyor and adding the correct trigger helps to transport different item types to flow in different processors as per your request.

You can use round robin method in the decision point to send items to different conveyor lane. I have reattached your model with changes.

Hope this is useful.

Thanks.
