Machine planning
Posted: Wednesday 04 August, 2021 - 11:01
Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible to simulate a machine schedule? Because in the small example where I tried this, I have 5 different products and want to make them on 2 different machines. For this, a machine planning has been made in which order these products must run over the machines. These sequences are shown in the table sequence.
So I actually want to create a pull for when the machine is empty, it must choose the right product from the pool(queue) of products. (I think there should be 2 triggers 1 when the machine is empty or when a product enters the pool)
It must also be taken into account that a product has to run over the machines in the correct order. For example, product 3 must first pass through machine 2 before it can go to machine 1.
I have tried to do this with different labels and counters to loop through the table with multiple if functions to see where the products should go. However, this did not work so I removed it. I was also thinking of using the function editor but I was hoping there is a simpler method.
Does anyone have a good idea or example of how I can achieve this? Greetings,
Robin
