Hello,
I am a beginner with Enterprise Dynamics and I want to use an Advanced ASRS in my model with the pick strategy: "External call (message to ASRS with pointer of assigned product)"
Unfortunately I do not have a clue how to implement this external call in my model - can somebody give me a hint for it?
Thank you in advance!

Hi,

I prepared a small example model for you, see attachment. I implemented the following:

- Boxes from source 2 are placed in the ASRS rack.
- Source 7 generates pallets and sends them to an assembler.
- In the entrytrigger of the assembler you will find the code to "call" the first pallet from the asrs rack. This is done by sending a message to the asrs with a atom reference to the box you want. In this case: first(rank(4, out(2,c))) which means: the first box first() in the rack atom which is rank(4, out(2,c)) where out(2,c) is the ASRS as I connected the 2nd output channel of the assembler to the ASRS.
- In combination with the strategy "external call" this will make the asrs wait for a message (send by the assembler) to pick a product.

For more information about the atom references see also the basic tutorial annex "a first start in 4D script".

Hope that this gives you an idea how to continue.
