Offset travel empty and Offset travel loaded in ASRS?

Please can anyone explain what is Offset travel empty and Offset travel loaded in ASRS?

I guess :

Offset travel empty is the distance that an ASRS crane travels when it is not carrying a load. Offset travel loaded is the distance that an ASRS crane travels when it is carrying a load.

You're correct. Here's a link to the section on Offset Travel

Normally all travel done by the ASRS is offset but sometimes people attach them to node networks or assign them an AStar navigator and then the Travel tasks handled by the navigator are regular, non-offset tasks.

Hi, is it the distance travelled or the time travelled?


Please can you also share the unit?

time (seconds) - Is it correct?

distance (metres) - Is it correct?


Thank you

Offset travel empty/loaded are states that a task executer be in. Most objects in FlexSim have a state profile attached to them that contains all states the object might be in during the simulation run.

The software tracks the time the object spend in each state. The unit will be what you chose as the model unit when first creating the file.

The "State" dashboard chart will display those values as percentages of the total simulation time. The percentage number in front of the bar is the amount of time the task executer spend in an 'active' state.
