How do you combine on conveyor a pallet and item?

I need to combine a pallet and item in a conveyor but when anything pallet is full the pallet needs to travel in the conveyor even if it is empty, then other pallets are placed in the empty place by pallets that are recirculating. Eight pallets are recirculate. combine-conveyor.fsm

Hi,

My approach maybe a little complicated, but it does work well.

I add two labels in Processor and dp to calculate the pack numbers and determine if there is a pack task.

Moving TaskSequence is created in the message trigger of Robot.

It is my first time to use dot syntax, and maybe it would help you.

@jing.chen

Thank you for your help. I have a question. I have 2 robots and 1 operator in my model. I implemented your code but I need pallet in three differents positions in the same conveyor and your model you only have a robot. How I could implement with three robots in the same conveyor?. I try to send the pallets to the other position but I have problems. I attached the link.
