Transport Tray Rack

I have an existential crisis.

I have this tray rack that is filling with parts. After the rack is filled the Operator should move it entirely (with items) to the next station and then bring back the empty one.

I don´t know if there´s a way to do it that I'm not considering it, but so far the rack is a Shape and the trays are Queues.

If anyone has any suggestion I'm open to it.

Thank you

Software Version:

FlexSim 17.2.5

You can use the Combiner object to combine flow-items to the tray rack. The Processor has not the feature of combining the tray and flowitems.

And then you can transport the tray rack to the opposite place. The Processor should be replaced with Separator object and the Operator can move the empty tray rack back to the Combiner.

If you know how to use Process Flow module of flexsim, you can use the activities of Process Flow to link them 3D objects.
