Default Sample_BasicConveyorCutting_TD

I just posted an example for a BasicConveyor model, where an item enters the system and is getting conveyed.
One issue was how to convey the item over the edge which is done by switching x and y size and using yoffset on the conveyor.
The second issue was how to cut the item info half. This is done by changing the size of the item, make a copy of this item and put them in the right position on the conveyor.

If anybody likes to give feedback for the model, I would really appreciate this.

Nice to see a "simple" example of the basic conveyor, always wanted to learn to use it, but never get to try it...

a question, why the 3 or 4 wide basicconveyors?... could you do the same only using decision points?...

thanks your your sample model(s)..

regards

Pablo,

I am not sure if I understand your question. I used a bunch of conveyors, because in reality there are also more than one conveyor. So it has to do with being close to reality, in a way.
But I agree, it could also be possible to use just one conveyor with a bunch of decision points.

The general idea what I was testing was how to transport the item over the edge and how to cut the item. And that is what the model does. The cutting of the item was the biggest issue for me and took me some time to figure out that I need to move the item out and in the conveyor to get the events right.

Anyway, thanks for your feedback. I am glad that you like this little sample model.
