[Beginner] Unloading resourcers from trolleys, AVG system

Hello,

I'd like to present an issue that I've been struggling for a while now. The target of the presented project is to design a system where resourcers (KLT boxes) are transported on the two trolleys in the warehousing area and then moved to the production area via AVG in constant loop.

The issue I am having is how to program operator (op_line) in the production area to unload KLTs from stacked trolley in "FullTrailersPro" queue to the "ProductionStock"queue.

After unloading the KLTs to the queue ("ProductionStock") the operator is supposed to move the empty trollley into the "EmptyTrailersPro" queue where it will be picked up by AGV and transported back to the warehousing area ("EmptyTrailers"queue).

The project is pretty much based on the intermarium tutorials from youtube. Im sending the project files in the attachments area to get a better look how the process flows work and objects movement as well for Trolley model which was downloaded from sketchup website.

I would also suggest turning FullTrailersPro into a separator and change it's visuals to be a queue, like I have done in this attached model. You can then use it's output ports to send each item to its respective location using the operator as a transport.

Hi

you need to use the run sub flow block to multiply an action (in your case unloading a KLT from a trolley onto a queue). I am adding a simple example of how to do this. Try to implement the logic in your model by yourself.
