Hello @Chua X2,

Setting the capacity of the robots to 16 will allow what you want. The reason you are not seeing the robots carry that many has to do with using batching on your pick up queues and the max content of the receiving queues.

The queues will not release the flow items until the batch quantity is reached. Also, The queues will send to the first available receiving queue and take into account the max content of the receiving queue. So it won't send an item until it is ready to be received.
