Batch from Queue and capacity of operator

Dear all,

in a simple model with 3 queues, each accumulating batches of 16 items, is a dispatcher with 3 operators who have a capacity of 16 items each. Any of the operators can take batches of 16 from any queue and transport it to the corresponding rack.
Flush contents in the queues is ticked.

If I use 1 operator, he will take all 16 items. In case, there are three operators, and the loadtime is ZERO, the first operator takes 14 items, and the other two take 1 item each.
With a load time bigger than ZERO, operators will take different number of items but not the full batch of 16.

I tried to use the Break to Requirement "Unload until empty", but that did not help.

How can I make it that one operator takes a full batch at a time?


Best regards and thanks in advance
Michael

I guess the problem here is that some events occur to the exact time, because of the batching of the queue. Having events generated at the same time the questions is how they will put into the event order. I remember some threads about this subject.

Anyway, I solved the problem by creating my own tasksequence (OnEndCollecting) and just use the Use Transport to return 0 because I use my own tasksequence. So the object is not releasing the items by itself. See the attached model.

Because I do not have a lot of time today, I did not explain very precise what I am doing and why. In other words this is just a rough model and not a normal _TD model.
I hope, it still helps and if there are any questions, please feel free to ask.

Thank you very much, Tom. This helps a lot.

But still: Why doesn't it work to use on the "Break to" Requirement of the operator the "Same Load Station Until Empty" - Option?

The "Same Load Station Until Empty" on the Operator works in the way, that a check is made if the Operator has already a tasksequence (Travel/Load/Break/Travel/Unload). If this is the case the existing tasksequence gets a new tasksequence at the Break task. This new task is again a Travel/Load/Break/Travel/Unload tasksequence. So the operator will travel again to the station (normally he is already there), does the load and then travels to the target station and does the unload. Is this is done he takes the first tasksequence and does the travel (normally he is already there because of the previous tasksequence) and just do the unload of the first item.
Have a look into the code of the "Break to" and you can see that there is a check if it is a new tasksequence and if the target station is the same.
In the case of batching at the queue and because of having the events at the same time one operator gets some tasksequences and than he is already busy. So another operator or more other operators will get a tasksequence. That’s why not one guy is doing the whole job.
At least this is what happens in my eyes with my Flexsim understanding. Maybe I am wrong, but then I am sure someone will correct me.
