Help with Robot Pick and Place based on Color

Hi everyone!!!

I'm working on a FlexSim project where boxes pass through a source and process before reaching a decision point where they are assigned random colors. I aim to have a robot identify the red (defective) boxes on a conveyor, pick them up, and move them to an adjacent conveyor.

Also, I want the box color after the decision point to be only Brown(good) or red(defective). But currently, I have a random color setting.

Could someone guide me on setting this up? Specifically, I need help with the decision point setup.

Thanks in advance for your help!

While technically possible, using the actual color of an object for decision making logic is unorthodox. You'd generally set a label that denotes whether the item is defective or not and base both the color and further decision on this value.
