how could I get opeartors move during processing?

Hi,there comes a newbie on flexsim,what i wanna ask is that - When processor uses operators for operating ,how could I get the person move just like in the reality? As in my model,during the whole process,the operator keeped still all the time.
Thanks.

Hi,

the answer is easy: give the operator something else to do.

A possible solution is to add another processor (no.2), which uses the same operator for its processing. Your first processor should have a higher priority and be preempting. The distracting processor (no.2) has always something to do. Set the process time to a high value e.g. the simulation stop time.

Another way is a bit more complicated. Write your own tasksequence or use a globaltasksequence, which the operater has to do after process finish. Use therefor the OnProcessFinish trigger in the processor.

The operator has to leave the processor only, if there is nothing more to process. Then you send a delayed message of 1 second to your processor.
In the Onmessage trigger you can decide, what the operator can do: send him away by a tasksequence or let him process.

Hi Jörg,
is it wright that this way the Operator will walk around? I understood the question that way, the operator should move it´s arms on Processor like he would work in reality. And don´t only stands still in front of the processor while being in process.
Wouldn´t this be possible with animationcreator and for example any trigger?

Yes,Sebastian understand me correctly.

Then Sebastian is correct, if you want to have Animation/Visualization of the operator during the process you should use the animation creator. You could use the OnEntry trigger of the Processor to start your own animation with the command startanimation(); and the OnProcessFinish trigger to stop the animation with the command stopanimation();.

In this Thread “Animation Creator” is a small model from Anthony where the operator moves his head. Maybe this is useful for you.
