ASRS as task executer in process flow

Hello

I am trying to figure out how to adapt this model https://answers.flexsim.com/questions/86904/asrs-process-flow.html to mine.

I want to use 2 ASRS to pick objects at 4 different racks. Based on the cited model I tried instead of using Acquire Resource, I could assign a label to token to let it know which ASRS to use based on where the box to pick is located.

The label is created but with null content.

Can you help me to find the error so I can ASRS 2022.fsmassign ASRS based on the rack where the box to pick is located please?

Software Version:

FlexSim 22.2.2

Hello @mUg24,

You create the label item on the child token created in the subflow, so you cannot call the label on the parent token. I moved your Rack, ASRS, and Destination label to the subflow. I also added in Start and Finish task sequence activities so the ASRS aren't executing multiple tasks at the same time.

The item is not a node of the attribute sub tree of the rack. It is directly a sub tree of a rack. The property to get a reference to a rack is: up and not ownerobject.

token.item.up is the correct reference for rack storing the item

Hi @Joerg Vogel it worked when I assigned the label ASRS after "START" in the subflow. Thank you very much!

Thank you Joerg, but even with token.item.up the model is not working for assigning children tokens the specific rack where the box to pick is located.

I am attaching the new model using the proposed reference.
