In this video, Cliff King builds an example model using a process flow to control the operator tasks. This is an approach you can use when the behavior of an operator needs to be defined in a very specific way that does not conform to the basic task sequences defined by standard 3D objects like queues and processors.
The model highlights the Event-Triggered Source, pushing and pulling from a List, and the use of a Sub Flow to model repetitive actions!
00:24 Description of example model
01:09 Layout 3D object in model
01:52 Set a Type label and color to entering items
02:24 Create and add operators to an Ops group
02:53 Create a General Process Flow
02:59 Event-Triggered Source
03:54 Push to List
03:58 List
05:44 Operator flow begins with Schedule Source generating one token per operator
06:07 Acquire an available operator from an operator group
06:41 Pull from List
07:53 Run Sub Flow
10:28 Sub flow of tasks (Travel, Load, Unload)
12:44 Create repeating loop in Operator flow
