Stations
A new type of activity created to enhance material handling. The station can have capacity or capacity can be turned off; designed to be used with conveyors.
You can inset an onboard station into a conveyor.

Conveyors
Conveyors control how entities flow from activity to activity. Introducing Stations in a conveyor enhances the ability to control flow from conveyor to conveyor.
- Control speed of conveyors
- Control distance of conveyors
- Control orientation of entities
- Control accumulation of entities

Path networks
Resource movement can be added to enhance your model with travel, pick up, and deposit time.
Process Simulator Professional Material Handling
Nodes - decisions points of a path network
- Set limits
- Flexible connectors - allow for travel of resources to any part of your Visio file where the resource is requested.
Process Simulator Professional Material Handling
Path Network Connector - connections between nodes
Distance is automatically configured by the scale or the model, but can be manually set.
Process Simulator Professional Material Handling
Interfaces - connections from nodes to activities or stations
This is how you can control where resources go to interact with an activity/station.

Resource Path network section
Choose the path network the resource can move on.
- Control starting, off-shift, and break node
- Speed
- Deposit times
- Node logic for better control of resources
