Does FlexSIM support designing conveyor flow with product carriers?

I am learning FlexSIM and I am trying to build a conveyor flow, where products( flow items) are transported in a carrier. These carriers loop in the line during operation. Similar to paint skid carrying the BIW in paint shop. My interest is optimize the number of carriers required to run for a desired throughput.

What options do I have to use to model this scenario? Thank you in advance.

@Sandeep Kumar I,

I think this sample model of a carousel might be what you are looking for? You might be able to use the same kind of scenario for your model?

Thank you @Jeff Nordgren. Your model was helpful to understand the approach. It's very similar to what I am looking for.
