Hi Everyone!!
Just starting in flexsim and have this doubt, want to the operator pick a box that is running in the conveyor place in the processor and in the exit pick again and place it in the same conveyor.
Can someone please help me?

Here is an example of how to have an operator pull an item from a conveyor, place it into a processor, and once it has finished processing place it back onto the conveyor.
I moved the exit and entry transfers so that they were close to the processor. I then created a decision point that had an on arrival trigger that sent the items to the exit transfer that is linked to the processor.
I then use transport on the exit transfer and connect the operator to the transfer. The operator will now pick up the item from the conveyor, load it to the processor, and once the part is processed it will be placed back onto the conveyor. If you want to increase the areas where the operator can pick up and drop off the boxes you can drag out the length of the entry and exit transfers.
If you have any questions feel free to reach out.
