How do I make the AGV unload all products at the same processor?

Hi, I am experiencing an issue where my AGV, carrying four products, is not unloading them all into the same processor. Instead, it splits the products across different processors. I need all four products to be unloaded into a single processor.

The Task Executer is just carrying out the task sequence it received from the queue. Where the item is transported is decided in the Send to Port field of the queue.

The issue you are likely running into is that, despite the processor having a higher capacity, it can't receive another item before some internal logic has finished upon the first item being send. The queue doesn't wait for this logic to finish though, so the next item is instead send to another processor. (This assumes the Send to Port field is set to "First Available").

There are many options how one can work around this. Which one is best will depend on the exact requirements. You could for example alter the "Round Robin" option to work for batches of 4 items.
