How do I get MULTIPLE transporters (or operators) to pick up flow items at the exit transfer of a conveyor and take them to a sink?

This is a Task of a Dispatcher object. You connect an exit transfer with a dispatcher object by a center port connection (”s” key type). This is a default link for a taskexecuter connection. Then you link your Taskexecuters outgoing from the dispatcher to them(“a” key type). The dispatcher stores transport jobs and transfer them to available Taskexecuter. If a Taskexecuter has got a larger transport capacity than one he must look for further transport jobs at the dispatcher. You have to edit the break to Function in each Taskexecuter to search the transport jobs.
Additionally please transfer the exit transfer to a side of a conveyor. Resize the exit transfer side along to be able to let exit more items simultaneously. And please adjust the option to be able to handle more items in transfer.

There is a chapter in manual dealing with your request.

please come back, if you need further help.
