Two Operators doing the same operation independently

I want both operators to load and unload boxes on to the conveyor independently from one another. For example, if a tote with items arrives on the rightmost decision point, then only Operator 1 is allowed to take these items and put them on the conveyor. If a tote with items arrives on the leftmost decision point, Operator 2 will perform the same process. The solution is probably on the simpler side, but I am stumped on how to add another wait for event for the other decision point.

I am thinking I need to use a decide or assign labels item, but I am not sure on how to name something when it arrives at a certain decision point within a process flow.

Thanks in advance!

On the Wait for Event, you can listen to a group of objects. With this, you can wait for an item to arrive to either of your two Decision Points:

You can also assign the Event Object (i.e. the Decision Point that token.tote arrived at) to a label: I set it to token.DP.

To get the correct operator, I would recommend using a center connection to connect each operator to the decision point:

Then, set the Task Executor/Dispatcher to "token.DP.centerObjects[1]". This will return the operator that is connected to the triggering Decision Point.

From then on, any time you reference the decision point, you'll want to put in "token.DP", but otherwise the logic should remain the same.
