Cargo Handling System

How i can create a cargo handling system which means ETV(elevated transfer vehicle) hope I can use ASRS for this and I can use a rack but how i can add a roller conveyor on the rack for storing uld or pallets?

Video link for the system you can see the ULD (AKE )loading into the roller conveyor.

.42 and 1.31 etc.

Hi @MaxKMadiath,

I am including a model that demonstrates an ASRS being used within Flexsim. If you wanted it to look like conveyors were moving the packages into the rack bays, you could place them into the rack bays, which could graphically work as is demonstrated in the video you shared. However I would not recommend trying to use the conveyors to transfer items because there isn't an really an easy way to connect the rack slots to the conveyors. The way the ASRS works has the items slide into the rack, and I would highly recommend just using this default logic.
