Hello.
Now I’m creating our line with Process Modeling.
But I can’t setup break time such as break, meal, shift
Some of automatic lines have to operate during the break.
Is there any method using Process Modeling?
If not, please let me know any method.
Thanks in advance.
You could create the break time in a separate process.
Use work-statement to call resource to this process.
After that you can reserve the resource for the break time (delay) and then release resource.
More about reserve resources:
Hello, Mr. Anhu.
I’ve checked the resource reservation.
But I don’t understand how I can apply break time.
This is the time table.
Hello,
On the off chance that you never found an answer to this, or if someone else finds this helpful, I can show what I figured out.
You send a signal to the resource controller. In my case, I was working with human resources. You add a send signal to the resource controller, and configure it to ‘reserve’. Then, I added a work statement to make the person walk over to the location, and finally a delay, so that the person sits there without working. To send them back to work, I sent another signal to the controller, releasing the resource.
I am still trying to figure out how to ‘schedule’ breaks. I would like to figure out how to make them take breaks at the same time (meetings for instance, where all human resources are pulled off the line). If anyone has any tips or ideas, I would love to hear them!
Thanks,

You could use Missions with a Schedulded Activator.
This seems to be a good way of doing it. Am I correct in assuming that under the hood, this is basically what the controllers are doing? Handling requests from flow tasks/statements and forming that list? How do I get a hybrid approach where I can allow it to work normally most of the time, but “break out” and use the mission controller logic under certain conditions? Can you share your model so I can look at the details? @Tilma
Yes it allows you to better define in which order these tasks are done, as well as adding some other tasks, like here, just move and wait an amount of time.
You can’t really use a hybrid approach (that i know of), it’s either all in the Missions, or nothing.
Here I used 2 Missions per Mission Controller: one for the work tasks with a repeated Activator and one for the Break with a schedulded Activator and a Priority of 1.
If you want more different tasks or different breaks duration, you will need to define more Missions.
There is a possibility to use the JSON format to write the Missions and copy paste them more easily from one controller to the other.
