Sorting from queue and delivering

How do I separate 3 different types of items coming to the same queue by a task executer or transporter and deliver them into 3 different locations?

Hi @Taohidul C do you have a sample model? You can assign labels by type.

SAMPLE REFERENCE.fsm

Here is a sample file of what I want to do. I want the source to create 3 different types of items in a sequence or based on the arrival schedule (The created items should have some kind of labels or identifiers so later even if all those are in the same place, an operator can pick up the required item type. All those items will be processed by the processor and delivered to 3 different locations. An auxiliary task executed can also be utilised to transport the items to the delivery location other than the operator.

Hi @Taohidul C see attached. At the processor I assigned a set label trigger on exit to make it a Type 1, 2 or 3. Then I changed the queue to be connector by case and then assigned the use transport. Let me know if this accomplishes what you want. If you click on the flow items in the queue you can see the Type as 1 2 or 3Sample-reference-edited.fsm

Thanks a lot for recreating the file. Unfortunately, the model is not doing what I wanted. Type 1 products should be processed at first at the processor (all 10 of them, I am trying to use a batch of 10 for all types) and should be delivered to location 1 (delivery will take place as a batch of 10). Followed by that, type 2 and type 3 will take place in the same manner.
