Capacity of Transporter

I know it sounds a little bit easy but i can`t !

I have some operators who are very weak...

i had set in each one the capacity to transport as 20 units (flowitems) but they always get load 4 or 5 units only. The source where they remove the material has batchsize 20 idem, to facilitate match.

How I can force the people get load at least 20 units each time?

Thanks...

hi,

if the operators don't load more items and deliver those already loaded to the unload stations, then they have no more tasksequences to execute. Your model should create more tasksequences to get always fully loaded operators.
If you can't have enough items to transport all the time, then you have to build your own logic, how the tasksequences are built or to the taskexecuter dispatched.
If you want to stop the taskexecuter not fully loaded to travel to the unload stations, you must give that taskexecuter something else to do and let further item transport tasksequences preempting that other activity.

You have provided very limited information regarding what you are modeling and how you are modeling it. Within that context I have attached a mini model that I hope helps you with your problem.

Please see the OnEndCollecting trigger of the queue and the Message trigger of the operator.

When the queue has collected a batch, it sends a message to the operator.

When the operator receives the message, it creates a task sequence to travel to the queue, pick up the required number of items and then drop the items off at the conveyor (pick up and drop off are done via CALLSUBTASKS). The operator then returns to the queue and waits for the next batch.

Thanks Jörg and Dany...

Dany, it works well, just i wanted, Now i'm learning the management of task sequences, it's very useful tool. This is a good example.

thank you very much.
