How to create a monorail

Good morning, everyone,

I have a simulation where I want to set up a monorail system to supply an assembly line. The system consists of 120 carrier hooks, each 1.6 meters apart, transporting products from one point to another. However, during the unloading process, the monorail stops so that a robot can remove the product from the location. I’m encountering issues when the carrier hook tries to pick up the box.

This is where the hook picks up the box and continues on the monorail.

This is where I want it to only pick up the box and place it on the conveyor.

I appreciate all the help in advance.

Here's an example of how you could load the items onto the hooks.

Unloading would be similar. Create a token when the hook arrives at the DP, have the robot load the item and unload it to an Entry Transfer of the conveyor.

@Felix Möhlmann Thank you very much for the help. I tried to implement what you suggested for unloading to the robot, but it ends up picking up both the box and the carrier hook at the same time. Another issue I need help with is that when the unloading robot goes to pick up the box, the entire monorail stops for the robot to remove the box.
