I'm sorry it's taken us a while to get to your question. I just have a quick follow up question, which version of the software are you using? If you are using 7.7 or later then you can use a system of logic called Process Flow. What you are wanting to do could be done with process flow. Essentially what you would do, is push the pallets to a list. Then when you want to pull them, you'd set up a Process Flow with a Scheduled source. The source would be set up to fire at 4.333 hours and then every 28 minutes thereafter, which it would then send a token to pull your 8 pallets off the list and move them. Again, this is only if you are using software version 7.7 or later though. Otherwise we'd have to find an alternative method.
