Default TaskExecuter Load/Unload

I'm having an issue loading my TaskExecuter to it's full capacity. It is set to load for 30 and it seems like when it stops at each queue it only picks up 2 items. Any help?Final1.fsm

Default Hi. You should call the TE in order to make it load full capacity of twenty.

Hi. You have two ways the TE to make the full capacity of 20.
You should think 'Maximum 20 capacity' means from one to twenty capacity.
It's not always twenty capacity. So it does not wait for until twenty items gather.

If you want for the TE to transfer always twenty items, you should call the TE when the queue have twenty items or make the TE be waiting for until twenty items enter the queue.

It will be easy for the queue to become to 'perform batching'.

I think what you are looking for is to create your own tasksequence. The reason why your TE only loads one "item" and travels to another queue is, because standard Flexsim function is, to create a number of tasksequences in order of reached Items. So first Item on station 1 creates the tasksequences to:
1. travel to destination
2. load first item (even if there are more items with same destination)
3. travel to next destination
4. unload item
If there are items arriving the startdestination while the first bundle of tasksequences is running, non of the items would be involved;-) They only create the next bundle of tasksequences that will be processed in order of there creation.


So to get more control order of tasksequences just give your TE the Tasksequence to travel to first destination. Reached there, you can collect all items you want/ that arrived untill this moment. After collecting all items give the next tasksequence to travel to next station and so on...
Should work like a milkrun model.
