Default Cannot combine two objects into one

I have tried using combiner's pack/join/batch choices and none seems to turn two items into one.

Is this achieved using a processor instead?

Please reference attached model as example.

Thanks.

Could you please explain more exactly what you mean with "turn two items into one" ? What attributes should the created item have?
Or is your problem that none of the 3 choices works (as long as there is only one inputport connected to your combiner)?

Hello Wilfredo,

a combiner is the right object. The Combine Mode is join.
But the combiner object need at least two input ports.
Through the first input port is coming normally a tote or a pallet, on which the items from the input port number greater than 1 are packed or joined.
You can get this done in your model if you place a queue between the separator and the last combiner. Then build two object connections from the queue to the combiner. With the join mode it will work.
