Process Flow: How to set the load and unload position

Hi,

in my model the transport is not displayed in detail e.g. with a layout. The travel time is passed as a parameter and the agv just waits this amount of time. At the moment I have the horizontal line in queue but this gets the agv to travel a lot when there is a lot content. I want to minimize the way of the agv because I already have the travel time as a delay. How can I set the load and unload position of the agv in an easy way?

Here you can see the current subflow. The "travel to location" is the waiting point.

Thank you for helping.

travel.fsm

Here is an example of the issue. After a few minutes the agvs travel a lot. They should just stop at queue2 and unload. The box should skip automatically at the end of the line or whereever. I dont want to pile the boxes in queue2. A line or systematic storage is not neccecary but every item should stand on the floor.

I am not sure if I am understanding you correctly. Do you want the task TaskExecuters to stop retrieving boxes from Queue1 and stop at Queue2 after one load?
