I've just started playing and I'm struggling to get my head around various aspects of the circuit network.
I want to know if it is possible to connect various inserters to start inserting iron into an assembly machine when the number of an item on a belt drops below a certain level.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Connect a wire from a piece of belt to an inserter. Set the belt to read belt contents and set the appropriate condition on the inserter.
If you need to monitor a longer belt segment, then you can utilize a counter and make two of those read belt content sections at the start and the end.
Have the start increment and the end decrement (arithmetic combinator * -1).

Thanks for your help!

Just remember to set the read belt to "hold" the signal, its on pulse by default.

Pulse with a counter, hold without one.
