Default Pull items out of a rack

Hello everyone.

Pallets get stored in a rack with unique numbers as a label.
A transporter has to move to pallets to 15 separators to unpack them and afterwards an operator takes the unpacked items from the Separator into a sink.

Now, I try to pull the pallets with their uniqe number from the rack by the sink and use the transporter to take them to the according separator.
How can I manage this? Any suggestions?

Hope you know what I try t do

Benjamin,

I think you should the separators to do the pulling, because you can only pull from your upstream object. Then on the separators you can select to pull a particular label or a take a look at the "array or range of itemtypes" option and adapt those to do the same for a label.
