loading and unloading on a specific place

Hello, I want to realize the following:

First the operator places the rack in Floorstorage 1. Here he must place 8 boxes on the rack, then this rack can be moved to Floorstorage 2 if it is free. Here it must be emptied, so operator 2 takes the boxes from the rack and places them in the queue next to it. Once this is done, the rack goes to Floor Storage 3 where it remains until Floor Storage 1 is free.

I think I'm almost there, but I still have 2 problems:

1) The operator may only place the Boxes on the rack at Floorstorage 1. How can I solve this (Now it remains placed in the first rack) I suspect that I have to add a label for this somewhere, but I can't find where.

2) When emptying the rack, it does not recognize the boxes, how do I solve this?

Thank you in advance !!

The "Operator 2" resource was still set to "Numeric", not connected to the actual operator.

I added a second condition to the Find Slot query: The slot must belong to the current rack.

You don't really need the Find Item activity. You can access the items as subnodes on the rack (see label assignment in Run Sub Flow activity (post 2)). If you do want to use Find Item, use the same expression as in the Find Slot query to make sure you only search for items in the current rack.
