Send flow item to different queues based on availability

Hello there,

In this project, I have two types of flow items, one is red, and the other is green. I have two separate conveyors, and each one is connected with three different queues, and their capacity is one.

I want the flow item to get to the first available queue. For example, when Queue1 reaches the maximum number of items, which is one, it fires a trigger and sends a message to DP5 that Queue1 is busy.

So, when another flow item comes, it will go to Queue2, and so on. When all queues are busy (all of them have one flow item), DP5 fires a trigger and sends a message to DP4 that all queues are busy. Therefore, rotate the flow items until a queue gets available.

Your help with this would be greatly appreciated!
