Hi Everyone,
In my simulation i have 5 parts ready simultaneously on floor storage.
Im trying to get my forklift to collect all of one type of item before getting the next but it is picking up one of each at a time.
How do i fix this?
Thankyou!

I'd suggest to use a Process Flow to control the transport. Together with a list you can easily control the order in which items are collected.
In the attached example the Process Flow controls the forklift. It first pulls anything from the item list (FIFO). Then the forklift loads that item. Before unloading, the token tries to pull more items of the same type from the list (if there is capacity on the forklift). Once either the capacity is reached or no more items of the same type are found, the loaded items are unloaded at a queue. Then the token first checks again for items with the same type as the last.
