Hello, teachers. I have a question doing my job. Please give me an advice.

I want to unloading boxes to the right queue using operator.

I set up the type of box and color.

And I link conveyor, operator and queue.

type1 boxes -> Q1

type2 boxes -> Q2

You have to tell the items where to exit the conveyor by sending them there. Either in the trigger of a decision point, photo eye or station. Or in a custom code activity in Process Flow.

rdc-fm.fsm

An item will by default take the last possible exit out of any conveyor, but since your conveyors form a loop, the last exit is always another conveyor.
