How do I unload objects from a rack using multiple asrs systems?

I have made a model in which asrs system is loading and unloading objects onto the rack. I want to add one more asrs system for unloading. However, when I try to connect both the asrs systems, only one is functional.

Software Version:

FlexSim 19.1.0

Let you assign the different jobs through a dispatcher? Please attach a simplified model. Thanks!

Hi @Samarth V,

Here's an example using the suggestion from Jörg that implements 2 ASRS vehicles by using a dispatcher object. The logic in the dispatcher is set to send tasks "Round Robin" to the ASRS vehicles.

Hi, @Samarth V,

If it is for the RACK 2, instead of connecting it directly you can use process flow method.

In process flow, push the items to a list whenever the items enter into the Rack2. then pull the items from the list. use a Resource (ASRS vechile 3) to load the items from the rack 2 and then unload it in the conveyor.

Hope it helps
