Call a specific operator
Hi community,
I have a problem with calling a specific operator. I want to do the following: There is a "Queue A" which stores, for example, 20 colored boxes. In the flow after "Queue A" are another 5 queues with 5 operators doing the transport between the queues. Operator 1 shall take a box from "Queue A" and bring it to "Queue 1", operator 2 shall bring the boxes he takes from "Queue A" to "Queue 2", and so on. Operators should not switch between the queues. So operator 1 would not transport anything to "Queue 2" or 3,4,5 and e.g. operator 3 would not transport boxes to queue 1,2,4,5. How can I realize this? Thanks Michael |

Hi Michael,
In your model you both build a tasksequence and using Use Transport. If your building your own tasksequence do not use Use Transport and it is also best if you set Send To Port to Do not Release Item. I have changed your model and now Op 1 will only transport items to queue 1. The logic for this is in Queue A and under tab Flow. What have done is to remove the code where you build a tasksequence and alsa the code which is triggered OnReset (Queue 1 to 5). See Send To Port and Request Transport From to see have a get the operator I want. This should give you some help. Lars-Olof |

Micheal,
If you are willing to make the port connections to the other queues then the answer is very simple. In the RequestTransportFrom field I have simply returned the outgoing port number as the center port to use for the transport request. This model does not move the items in the same way that you had but the solution is much more simple. Good Luck, Brandon
