Operator/transporter and Processflow

I am trying to make operators load items from a queue using process flow, the following error pops up

does loading only work with the taskexecuter/AGV network?

*I am trying to control a Bus to move to different stations and pick up "people" from the queue, I want to control this using Process flow.

examplemodel.fsm

@ Roger W

Hi Roger,

In your model you have used a Lable name called "Item" to refer the created box, And this label name is used to load and move the box to the respective destination by the operator. But the problem here is the label name "item" is not linked to the box that is been created.

I have done a slight modification of your example model where the operator loads the item from the queue and move to the respective location.

I have used two methods: one is by using create a token using Event trigger source and another is to Push the created box to a list and pull the token from process flow. These two methods will be useful for you to overcome the problem that you are facing.

I have attached the mode for your reference

Thank you
