problem with operator in item collecting

Hello,

this is my model btbpick.fsm

When i run the model, I noticed that operator, when arrives to collect a code, goes back and forth as a result waste of time. This back and forth is pointless. I cant understand why is this happening. Does anyone know how is it fixed?

Thank you in advance!

Haven't we already answered the whole of this project's questions by providing a comprehensive solution in this post? If you need to take 6 totes with the operator then adjust that model.

It's because the unload station is a position relative to the operator so it travels there, even though it's holding it. Then what happens is depending on which way it was facing it moves in that direction and then turns to get the the item location - so it oscillates. Change the unload to a "move object" activity and it will only move the the locations as part of the load activity and stay there for "move object".

Enjoy your model.
