Split carrier into left and right arm

Hello, In my model I want to split my "Main carrier" into a two carriers that work together for 1 to pick up a flow item from a processor which is done and the other arm to place an item from the previous machine into the processor I am at. For example if M1 is done I want to pick up a Part and then go to M2 and if M2 has a part in it which is done I want to pick up the part and then place the part that finished on M2

Hi @omer0! What you're describing sounds like it would probably be easiest to do in process flow. There are two tutorials that might help you, the coordinated task tutorial which shows how two operators can work together to accomplish a task:

https://docs.flexsim.com/en/23.1/Tutorials/TaskLogic/Tutorial2CoordinatedTasks/2-1StandardTasks/2-1StandardTasks.html

And then the conditional tasks tutorial which shows how an operator can pick up multiple boxes:

https://docs.flexsim.com/en/23.1/Tutorials/TaskLogic/Tutorial3ConditionalTasks/3-1SubflowsArrays/3-1SubflowsArrays.html

I would work through those and see how you could apply process flow to your model
