Combine two or more items in a workstation on a conveyor

BRUM.fsmHello, could someone help me with this assembly line? I need operator 2 to combine the item that is in queue 2 with the item that arrives at station 1. I found this topic, but it was not very clear to me how to do this: https://answers.flexsim.com/questions/63457/how-can-i-combine-two-or-more-items-in-a-workstati.html

As suggested in the response of the other support, it is possible to do this using Process Flow.

Follow below a suggestion to combine the itens. You can use the EventTriggered Source to assign the Tote to a token label, the ItemList orders the pull of the items from queue 2 and the combination of both itens is performed by the Move Object, moving the clipboard to inside the Tote.
