Many operators in process flow

Hello. In the attached model i have created a process flow in order to achieve picking from the racks. I have connected the forklifts with the racks and i created also a group of them, in order to achieve the process flow. My only problem is that when the model starts both transporters go to one of the two racks and not to the assigned one. Any help?

Each of the tokens is acquiring a forklift before it is known what item will be transported. If you pull the item beforehand, you can use the centerport-connection to reference the correct forklift and have the token only acquire this pre-determined forklift.

@Felix Möhlmann Thank you so much, but i have noticed that only one of them works now and i want them to pull pallets from the rack the same time.

By default the items on the list will be pulled in the order they were pushed onto the list. Since Rack201 is filled first, all items are taken from it until empty.

You could add "ORDER BY RAND()" to the pull query to randomize which item gets pulled.
