Hello, Im trying to build a model where at Queue1 are generated box of various sizes and weight, at Queue2 are generaterd totes. I want to move boxes from Queue1 to tote in Queue2 till its fully filled by volume or max weight (30kg). I dont know how to appeal from Queue2 to Queue1 to stop sending boxes to one tote, and move it to next queue.
Thanks in advance!

Hi @Jakub,
For this problem, you can use a combiner to pack your boxes in your totes. In the properties for your combiner, you can set the Target Quantity on your components list. This represents the number of boxes per tote, and is usually a static number. However, you can add a trigger to the combiner to "Update Combiner Component List." This allows you to change the number of boxes packed in each tote based on a Global Table.
Let me know if this approach works for you. If you have additional questions, I am happy to help. Attaching your model will help me better understand your question.
