how to add minimum and maximum transporter capacity?

case 2.fsmmy aim is to maximize the transporter capacity utilization. Maximum capacity of my transporter is 650units, so i want my transporter to start moving only when the total queue accumulated is above 600 units(combining all four queues), collect the material from all the que and return it to sink in one go, and wait till again the queue count reaches 600.

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.0.9

@Parikshit S You should make the model changed as one object (like queue) to send 600 units at one time via the transporter. The reason is that the transporter is only a vehicle to transport the items not counter or controller for many sending objects to collect how many items. For counting how many items to be collected in the many sending objects is very complicate.

You can close the output. Then you open it, if the content of a group of queues exceeds 600. The queues creates 600 transport tasksequences. You collect and distribute them by an dispatcher. Once the Taskexecuter is begin to unload you close the output of queues in the group again.
