Hi Visual Components Forum
I’m making a complex manual production line where I investigate a line of processes to find number of operators and equipment for the layout. I’m investigating how scaling the throughput have an impact of these variables as well. This means that I, to be efficient, have to have to make some of the proces steps configurable from some global controller. I have made the global controller that changes properties for all the workstations in the layout dictating how many products the stations need to start the process (this variable changes when scaling the throughput). I have seen that with the pattern in process statement I get what I look for - A nice representation of the number of products in the workstation and a condition that starts the process when set number of products enters the process. My problem is that the property for pattern cannot be set with an expression (assigned by a property). Or am I wrong?, I have tried to update the x pattern value by python script when the num of products changes but without luck. Any Ideas on how to do this smart?
