Waiting to dispatch other task.
Hi to all.
I've modelled a simple model. Two transporters carries loads to destination conveyor from the queue. Transporters works over a dispatcher. The problem is that, dispatcher waits until one transporter finishes his task to dispatch a task to the other one. Please find the model in attach. I didn't used any custom code in this model. How can I make the dispacther to dispatch the tasks imediately when a new item arrives at the queue? Thanks. Enver |

Enver,
That the dispatcher will not dispatch the next tasksequence has nothing to do with the dispatcher. The problem is that you try to unload to a conveyor and he is not ready to receive two items at the same time. If you put a queue in front of the conveyor everything works. This is a general thing in Flexsim where lots of people struggle. Always have an eye the main material flow (input and output) and keep in mind that the taskexecuter just do the transport. So the main material first needs to work. There are some posts about this subject already, but I am pretty sure that it is difficult to find them even with the search function. I remember one post where the issue was explained in a very good way, but I can not find it, otherwise I would have linked to it. Anyway, I hope I was able to help you with this issue.
