Creating a pallet loop with gradual palletizing?

I need to create a closed loop(irl it is a Unibilt system) with ~12 empty pallets and at a specific point, a robot will move 1 box onto a pallet. There is a feed conveyor that the robot will pickup at, it will pickup box 1 and put on pallet 1. Then the loop will move one position forward and the robot will put box 2 on pallet 2. And so on...

Somehow I need to be able to move an empty pallet, a partially filled one, and a full one.

Each pallet is assigned a sku/color, so as the conveyor feeds boxes in the pattern 1 , 2 , 4, 5 ,7. The loop will need to move 1 click, load, 2 clicks, load, 1 click, load, 2 clicks, load... pretty much the loop rotation is dependent on the sku pattern approaching the robot.

For what FlexSim Provides, I would image an AGV loop would be best, but I am open to ideas.

Biggest question is how to move partially loaded pallets and resume loading once it returns.
