Add a decision point for each load point and route to each from another decision point upstream on the common conveyor. Hold the pallets upstream until a load point is free.

Create an object process flow for each of the load points to hold the pallet and push to a PalletToLoadList.

Create a process flow for the robot to get references to the load point pallets from the 'pallets to load' list.

When a pallet is full, reverse the conveyor and resume the pallet. Detect when the pallet enters the main conveyor and reverse the load point conveyor it just exited.

Thank you so much Jason. Furthermore, how can I set up the quantity of quantity boxes place on empty pallet?

You could place a label on the pallet to say how many to pack and then read that when creating the load tasks.
