ASRS allocation only in it's own aisle and allocate in the right type

Hello,

I've added some ASRS into my simulation and I want them to do the putaway only in their respective aisles following the same order as for the FinRacks arrangement by type in the racks.

How can I achieve that?Example with expansion.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.1.3

rack asrs putaway

I havent been able to solve my problem with the allocation of the items. His last message was a bit discouraging.

Sorry- that wasn't the intention, it was to say let's tackle each issue one at a time - which is more how this site operates, rather than try and fix a whole project in one question.

You can add the aisle as an addtional label once you've found the slot (or failed to find a slot):

token.Slot?.as(Storage.Slot).aisleID

Then you can choose a taskexecuter where its Aisle matches the token label.

Thanks for the approach but even with those changes, I've got the same outcome. Please see the attached pictures:

1. The ASRS still doing putaway in other racks

2. The sorting of the boxes still happening randomly.

Thanks a lot for your guidance.

Can you upload your revised model to see what's happening?
