Use an object process flow to detect the arrival at a station (or other decision point) with pointer labels to the operator and entryTransfer. Set up a label on the token to the box for reference in the load and unload tasks. Reference the station's pointer labels in the tasks - for example : current.operator, and current.entryB

If you have two boxes to carry, you can change the Load and Unload activities for Travel and Move Object activities.

I simply broke up the activities into their subcomponents. Have the Operator first move to the Station. Then move the Boxes (using token.item.subnodes.toArray() as the Items to move) into the Operator. Have the operator move back to the drop off point. Finally, move the boxes onto that conveyor.
