TransportOut between stations

Process Modeling
1

I have 4 Process Nodes, and I want the products to sequentially occupy these nodes from right to left. After all 4 product are placed, the processes start simultaneously. Once the processes are completed, all 4 products should move together and proceed to the next station, which has only 1 Process Node (let’s call it Station5) . If Station5 is occupied, the products should wait in line until it becomes available.

I connected the TransportOut of each of the 4 initial Process Nodes directly to Station5 (Destination: To Transport Node). However, only the first product moves to Station5 , while the others remain stuck in Station5. What could be the reason for this behaivor and what would you recommend to solve it?

hi,

So you want to request four products simultaneously at station 5. For this, you should work with startTransportIn statements to request multiple products at the same time.
