Default Picking from a Rack

Hello all,

I am modeling a process whereby an operator picks items from the queue and places them onto a rack. The thing is I am trying to model the picking part by having the operator pick several items from random cells and transferring them to the downstream station (which happens to be a processor), but I always end up having the operator pick one item at a time (i.e.: the operator picks one item and transfers it, then he has to go back and pick the next...etc)

Can anyone please help?

Thanks
Hani

You have a processor as destination but a processor can only receive 1 item at a time when you drag it in. So either put a queue infront or increase the max content of the processor.
