How move transporter in batch

I need to move in batch of 20 items (loading and unloading), but there is something that is missing in the process flow and I do not know what it is, the model moves only one by one

And how can I do that when I enter the queue4 the items, the crane stops working for a time of unload (5 min).

I attached the model.

Thanks.

Your model does not know, that you want that token.item in your subflows reference in each step a different item of array in token.items. There is a declare local variable in activity "run sub flow" for assignining new labels called creationRank to address each element of your array.

aggregate each batched item into an array:

address each item in an array in activity Run Sub Flow:

Or you can use methods to draw array elements out of the array from end of start. This results in the end that the array itself gets empty.

Btw: A batch of tokens don't become a new entity. It is still a loose collection of items.
