How to sort boxes related to its colors?

Can you please take a loot at the attached model which works well but boxes from the input Queue "Consolited pallet after" are not sorted by operators by color (production lines) on to output queues.

I'm not sure if the input strategy for output queues is needed to set and how.

Thank you for a reply

@ Jakub P2 I have set label value(Type) for each color box by this way using "port by case" logic in sent to port you can separate the item in each queue. I have attached a model for your reference.

Thank a lot. It works perfectly @gilbert jerald

Level 2. OP must proceed the pallet from the top to the bottom and one-by-one PN (color).

Is that only a setting of queue, triggers on exit?

Many objects have Triggers for OnExit, OnEntry, and others. You can view the available triggers in the Triggers tab of any object.

This could also be done by using a pull strategy on a single object after the queues. I've attached a model that demonstrates this.

support-model-item-separation_v2.fsm

I added a processor to the model and used the "Round Robin if Available" pull strategy to pull from the queues one-by-one. You could also use a queue, sink, combiner, or separator with the pull strategy.

I also checked the "LIFO" box (to pull from the top to bottom) and center connected the OP to each of the queues.
