Multiple transporters for one queue?

Hello, I would like 7 operators to transport items from a queue to the same set of processors. So that the queue chooses its center point randomly or by closest distance or first available operator. Thank you.

I would use a dispatcher. Connect the dispatcher to the queue via centerport ('s'-connection). Then draw an 'a'-connection to each of your operators. In the dispatcher's properties you can select options to pass tasks to First Available, Round Robin, Random, Shortest Distance, etc.
