Hello, I have been trying to see if I can batch objects so that they are carried by a resource in groups of 200 but are processed one by one at a given process. Is there a way to do this?

You can implement the behavior using the Assembly/Dis-assembly setting of the process. The following are the steps;

- Edit the assembly/dis-assembly section, and set the split joined/Assembled object to be enabled. Also check the Split before processing selection. This option will force the group to be split into its original components and insert them all into the process buffer. The buffer will be auto-expanded to support the content of the group, there is no need to change the Queue/Buffer size.

- Add an assembly item definition (as you would in a normally assembly operation in the same Assembly/dis-assembly section) for the group and check the assemble option. That will force the process to reassemble the group into its original components one at a time.

- Edit the timing properties of the process, and add an entry for the group content timing. This will be the processing time for each object within the group.

The generated behavior will be as follows;

As the group arrives at the process, it is split into its 200 components. Each component will be processed individually at the process, then re-assembled into the group. When all items in the group are processed, it will proceed to the next process.

That should do it. Let me know if you run into any issues.
