Hi, mmmPI! No, you're absolutely right! It only occurred to me that I should've added that after I published the first version, but I was really tired from all the writing, so I took a break. Sorry you had to struggle. I kind of breeze by how the monitoring works in the "The order system" ...

Hey, someone read it! And someone else is planning to read it! How awesome is that? :lol: I did not understand your goal in your original post, probably because I never thought of using a multiple items on a belt unload station before.

Several hours (!) later, I had made something that is now happil...

My friends, thank you for these answers! They were both very much appreciated, but I have to give a special thanks to mmmPI, who gave the longest and most thorough answer I've ever gotten in any forum in my life. I'd buy you a beer, provided you are old enough (hey, it's the internet, who knows), if...
