New equipment added in Sym3 V5.2
A Product Generator provides a mechanism for producing product to use in a simulation. This can be configured with special properties for size, shape and user properties. e.g. Barcode identifiers.
From the Toolbox, simply drag and drop a Product Generator into the simulation.
From the Project Explorer > Equipment > Product Generator.
Or directly by selecting the Product Generator in the simulation.
When the simulation is running, hold down the SpaceBar and mouse click on the Product Generator. This will product a new product with the defined properties next to the Generator.
Still holding down the SpaceBar, select and drag the product to the intended location.
If the location is a Conveyor or Chute then the product will be placed on the equipment and move with it.
A Product Generator will allow you to define the usual Product properties as well as any User Defined properties for a Product. e.g. Barcode.
