Configure shuttle for multi-deep ASRS

Hi,

I am trying to recreate a scenario I saw on Youtube as below. The storage is multi-deep and the task executor has a platform to extend to store/ retrieve items while travelling up and down in a straight line. I thought that network nodes for the straight line with "travel offset for load/ unload task" to extend into the multi-deep storage would be the right settings but it is not. Can you please advise? Thank you!

PS: The default ASRS vehicle is not suitable for my simulation as I am trying to simulate a 4-way ASRS shuttle system.

A travel network is probably not going to work too well here, since you need to have a location per bay.

I'd suggest to use either Pick/Place Offset tasks, Travel to Location tasks or kinematics to travel the needed distance along the three axes in succession.

The attached model demonstrates the first two.
