Sharing Transport Controllers

Process Modeling

Hello everyone, here I come with a challenge.

Logistics Layout

Can anyone modify the layout so that, Otto can help Anna in his spare time?
Multiple Transport Controllers.vcmx (4.4 MB)

Otto starts to behave weirdly if connected to two transport controllers. I am struggling in the configuration of the Transport Controller and the capacity of the human resource. I cant find a way for two human resources (each one having different transport capacities) to help each other in their tasks in their spare time. I wonder if the transport capacity should be managed in the [tool] instead of the resource.

Let me know your thoughts or a solved layout.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Hello,
just change the strategy of the Transport Controller to “One-to-One”:

That way, even if his capacity is set on 5, he won’t try to transport different products at the same time.

(I connected Otto to the second Transport Controller again, set his capacity to 5 and changed the strategy of the first TC)

Thank you Tilma, I really did not understand the real meaning of one-to-one strategy.
