Transferring item and moving item between Rack and Queue

Due to my interest in building a model that simulates the flow of item between TS,TE, Rack, and Queue.

I designed the model and process flow where...

1. I want TE to carry the item that receives from Source2 and travel along the way in network nodes, then stop in the blue-marked network node.

2. TE will transfer the item to TS which already waited there in the nearby network node.

3. TE will continue travel from the current point to Sink and start all over the process again

4. While TE is travelling, TS will move the item to Rack and unload it down

5. While TE is travelling back to the blue-marked network node, TS will move the item from Rack to Queue

6. When TE is arrived, TS will come back and pick up the item and do the same process as in process 4-5

7. The loop will continue non-stop

You want to synchronize the action of taskexecuters. Then you add a single synchronize activity after finishing the travel activities where the taskexecuters meet each other in the model. When both tokens have arrived at the synchronize activity they both leave the activity simultaneously.

I did, but it didn't seem to solve all my problem

kcd2-layout-plan2-return-container.fsm

This is what I did from your recommendation.

However, I still have problem on 1. Task executor didn't carry the item from Source2 in the starting point of the model 2. After Task executor and Transport met, the Task executor didn't continue to travel forward as I plan the network node for them 3. Task executor didn't run the model as the same as the first trial, which I want it to be the same (loop) all the time.
