Throughput count of flowitem on pallet in Rack

Hi, when transporter carries pallet to the Rack, the Rack will count the throughput based on the number of pallet. But instead of that, I want to show the total number of flowitem on the pallet as throughput using dashboard. I was thinking of using StatisticsCollector to count them up, but is this correct approach? If so, how do I define the collector? Thank you in advance.

Here's an alternative approach (model attached) to using the stats collector where we just push and pull items to/from a list and plot the list contents. The push and pull logic is on the rack entry and exit triggers.

If you just want the total number in and out then just add a couple of labels to the rack and increment them on the exit and entry triggers with the value item.subnodes.length;
