What is the purpose of objects having labels?

As shown below why do we need lables for Queues. How is it useful in simulation. Any example explaining the use of labels for objects please?

Labels are local variables at objects and items. If you want to store the data of an item, that has already left the queue, you can hold the data into a label at the queue.

You need labels to identify the last output port for using the send to port function for round robin.

@Sudheer R If you try to play around with process flow (which eventually you should do to make your modelling live at lot easier) you will find that labels are a necessary thing to build a model. Without it is not possible.

Besides the solutions that @Jörg Vogel already mentioned, think about results and statistics you need, orders, or parts of orders, destinations product have to go to, positions etc. etc,
