How to represent a conveyor where they are pushed between objects?

Hello boys.

I tried to use the slug builder but I can not get that when the product reaches the end of the conveyor an operator takes it and passes it to the sink. Can someone support me with this problem? I would thank you a lot.

Annex the model.

Here's a very simple way to model a manual roller conveyor with boxes pushed onto the conveyor by an operator. Rather than use a conveyor, I used a queue with "Horizontal Line" chosen as the "Item Placement" strategy.

You need to define the ready criteria by choosing one or more of three options and also you should define the release speed. I have reattached the model with the changes.

I hope this helps

Thanks

Check the model, but what happens is that it only releases 14 units but the units advance, what I'm looking for is that the conveyor is full pushing the box to the end of the conveyor and there the operator takes the box without a speed. If only two boxes are placed in the conveyor, the boxes must not reach the end of the conveyor by the speed of Realese Speed, but until they accumulate.

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to achieve. Could you clarify a bit more?

In the model that you share with me what is happening is that you have a speed to release the boxes, I'm not looking for that. I am looking for boxes to arrive to the conveyor and push each other to the end of the conveyor for an operator to take. What do I have to do with Photo Eye? Where do I turn on and off the conveyor motor every time an object enters or how can I represent this? Thanks for the support.
