Hello Comunity,
I want to analyze in my model (attached).
I need to know the time, products stands still on blue and green conveyor.
Can somebody tell me how I realize that?
I tried the experimental Wizzard, but the results aren´t satisfiing.
Thanks
Matthias Fischl

Re: Analyzing model
Hello Mathias,
I have attached a model, in which I suggest some ways of representation.
It is not a basic KPI, as you can not measure the staying time (the transporting time must be subtracted).
The easiest way is to add a label to the product (for example 'entryblue' and 'entrygreen' ) that gets the value of the current time assigned when it enters.
And on exit you measure the stand still time as exit time minus entry time minus travel time (= distance * conveyor speed). The result can be written as label value to the product again (names 'waitedonblue' and 'waitedongreen' ).
In the model I use Monitor-atoms to display the label values of the last product that has left a conveyor.
Furthermore I show the option to write the values to a table, so you can see the time for each individual product that left a buffer belt. Finally I use another table to collect the average stand still time per conveyor and the number of measurements used for this average. But that requires some more 4D script coding.
Regards, Simon

Re: Analyzing model
Thank you,
it was very helpful
I hope I can di it by myself next time.
