Hi @Jeanette F , as i am still not very familiar with process flow. May i ask how can i make the each robot carry 16 items at ones from the queue? I have attached the model below.
How can I make the task executors carry multiple items?

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.
hi
@Jeanette F , i already set them to 16 as shown in the model but it is still showing the robot picking 1 item
Hello
@Chua X2,
The robots are carrying more than one item. To see this select one of the robots and view their statistics. The items are stacked on top of each other in the same position. You will notice the robot does not reach 16 items because of the reasons stated above.
