How to transport to robot in separator items individually in FlexSim

I would like to share the current progress of my simulation.
Source 1: Queue for generating "Thing" (type: FlowItem)
Source 2: Queue for generating "Panel" (type: FlowItem)
Left side of the conveyor:
- Placed Combiners 1, 2, and 3
- Panels are generated from Source 2 onto Combiners 1, 2, and 3
- When Thing is placed on top of a Panel, it gets "packed"
- Then the packed item flows to the right
Right side of the conveyor:
- A Separator is placed
- The incoming packed Panel + Thing is "unpacked" by the Separator
- The robot picks up the Mono and places it into a queue
- The Panel is moved to the lower conveyor (not picked up by the robot)
This is the mechanism I have built so far, but I’m not fully confident whether this setup is appropriate from a simulation perspective.
Also, in step 5, after unpacking with the Separator, I want the robot to transport only the Thing, while the Panel should be transported without using the robot. However, currently the robot picks up and transports both items.
I would like to know if it’s possible to configure the robot to pick up only the Mono and ignore the Panel.
I would appreciate it if you could explain...
