random attribute of 2 values out of arange of 3: You find a list that gets populated by an array of 3 values. You can pull from this list more values randomly at a time. If they stay, then you can pull more often.

Colors are easilier to pull if you decode them in a single value rather than in color components of red, green, blue and alpha channel. I decode the value in a label called Type. And I choose to assign a color by number value of this label. This happens whenever an item enters a slot.

This said I have to have for any empty tote two tokens of two random Type values out a range of 3. A tote with already two stored items I have to assign Type of the first stored item. And a tote with a content of three item gets a token of Type of the second stored item.

Finally there happens that an empty tote has 2 tokens in your process. I choose to batch them together. Any other token must not be batched and their batch size is set to one.

That was excactly what i was trying to achieve. Thank you so much for your help !

But if the second and third pickers also pick two boxes at a time, where should I change?

@Sam900122, you need to add further tokens similar to the part which creates a token for an empty tote. And you have to adjust the decide activity accordingly to the items present for a stop at a decision point And you will change the batch quantity for the item first arriving this activity after an stop has happened. AND interarrival time must be longer otherwise you have to use other strategies to keep tokens for a totes together as parent and child by for example split and join activities.zone_picking_increased_jv.fsm
