Queue

I need help, in my model I was able to simulate so that the boxes in the process output are sent to one queue at a time, but in the second step the processor also distributes using the same logic. I need the processor to send the boxes to the queue that is totally empty, if all four queues are in some box the processor should wait for a queue to be available.

In the attached image, the right one would be for Crane1 to route to the empty queue and not complete the queue being emptied.

Hello @Cayo E attached is your model with some changes. I added triggers on the Queues so they close their input once they reach the value of batching (48), and open when they reach the content of 0. With this, we guarantee that the crane will only bring new flow items after the Queue is completely empty. I saw I had a Label to count the outputs of the processor, for this, I added one dashboard with graphs where you can see the Throughputs vs time.

I need to set up a form that every time has only one empty queue, but the Transporter is working differently in the queues. In a queue it is fast in the other it is slow
