Hello @MikeChaint,

There are two ways that come to mind in how you can accomplish this.

One is to have the items packed together before entering the rack so they move as a single flow item and then they are unpacked after they unloaded from the ASRS.

Another option is to create a custom ASRS task sequence. The easiest way to accomplish this is with process flow. Basically you have two load tasks to pick two items.

Thanks Jeanette F.

I accomplished letting ASRS carry two items together with your help. I am just a beginner of learning Process Flow. I tried to upload two items at once from ASRS.

shall I use the method above ?

I think the intention is to use the moveobject activity for one of the items and use Unload for the other. In that sense you would not use the Item expression you show above. (your video appears to work so it looks like you've figured this out by now.)
