Accumulation with conveyor module

Hello,

I would like to have a realistic large accumulation conveyor.

In the attached model, you will see a large straight conveyor with a decision point who translate items on the conveyor. I would like the items on the conveyor to accumulates properly (like in reality).

Is there a way to do it with the new conveyor module ? Does anyone have an idea ?

FlexSim version 7.5.0
Conveyor module version 1.0.0

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,

Clément.

Hello Clement,

what is your application for this? I believe, if it is to split the flow of packages into several lanes, you would have to create several conveyor lanes after the decision point, which would probably a real system look like as well.
If your application is something like bottling, that cannot be achieved with the conveyor module, since it is developed for discrete items like pallets or packages.

Best wishes

Hello Ralf,

I would like to simulate the preparation of layer by robots for layer palletizing station (see attached photo). The system can handle a lot of different pattern. I will try with multiple conveyors.
