How to move item after specified time

Hello,

I have a following problem:

On the source I have an items which are move from Queue to Rack by employees. Next, the other employee moves items from Rack to 'Received Parcels' but I would like to Operator5 has certain time to pick up each item (for example 1 hour). It means that if any item spend more time than 1 hour in the rack should be automatically moved to 'Missed Parcels'

Could anyone help with this? Because I have no idea how to solve it

Thank you,

Hello @Maciej C4,

You can do this easily in process flow. I created an event triggered source that creates a token when an item arrives in the rack. Then a wait for activity for when the item leaves the rack followed by a sink. This activity also has a max wait timer of 1 hour. If that max wait timer is triggered then the token is released to the move object activity and it is moved to missed parcels queue.
