Loading Object From Rack

Is it possible to change the position a task executer loads an item from a rack? If you look at the picture the object is a yellow box and the task executer stops 4 feet away to load the object. I want the task executer to be centered while loading the object

It's hard to say why your task executor might be loading the box so far away, but you could probably fix it by using a Process Flow "Travel to Loc":

If you upload your model I could give you a more specific answer.

One way to do it is to assign get the object's location by assigning it to a label like so:

Here it saves the item's x, y, and z locations into an array that you can use later. You can then apply them to a "Travel to Loc" activity like this one (note that you could also just put 0 for the Z location):
