Task executers pickup late items from queues to rack

Hello there,

In this project, the bags are delivered to multiple different queues where the passengers wait until all their bags arrive in a queue, then go there and take their bags. A timer should start counting after all bags have arrived in the queue; if a passenger was late (let's say for 5 min), the two task executers connected to all queues should check and take the late bags put them in the rack. However, I am struggling to make this work.

Your help with this would be much appreciated!

Do not let the task executer decide. Let the queues decide that they release items after an message has been received. The queues send the items into the racks and they are requesting Task executers for transport.

I am interested in your solution. If you don't mind, can you perhaps show me how I can do this? What message should the queues receive to decide that they can release items? Thank you.
