How to fill the space between boxes on a conveyor with more boxes?

Hi,

As you can see in the picture, Queue 1 put boxes on the conveyor in a side by side manner (using a Decision Point).

There are two problems with the attached:

1- Although there are boxes waiting in Queue 1 and there is space between boxes on the conveyor, Queue 1 cannot send more boxes to fully utilize the conveyor space.

2- Queue 2 cannot fill the space between brown boxes coming from Queue 1.

Any help to solve these issues is appreciated.

Hi @ShabDz

Are you thinking of something like this?

Here's the model attached below. I used two conveyors and another conveyor object over the top.

@Isaac Litster, looks good. Please convert your comment to an answer. And can you add a picture showing us how you connected the conveyors before you put them over one another. Thanks!
