how to assign task executers to the same task

Sadly we are thrown into cold water regarding flexsim modelling and i am lost, i have come so far, to use one Task Executer to bring the combined pallate+object to the Seperator, make the operator unload the objects into the rack, and make the task executer bring the pallet to the floor storage, pick it back up and bring it back to the que/combiner. Now our task is to verify the system, make it faster/better, so i would need more task exccuters and operators so the stacking items can be transportet faster.

Problem is, i dont know how to make the task executers pick up the pallet with objects each time, only one task executer picks the items and the other one ONLY picks the pallet, this is not very efficient, how to add more task executers, wich pick the pallet+objects ? We are not working with ProcessFlow at all.15.12.2020.fsm

@Finn H

Consider changing the "Pass To" options on the dispatcher for the TE's. In your model, I changed this to "Shortest Distance" and it seems to be working how you would like it to.
