01About

Overview

A 3D load-building algorithm automatically generates optimal loading patterns that account for product size, weight, and package shape. It helps raise the load factor, shorten loading time, and reduce the risk of load collapse.

03Features

Key Features

  • Output image of load plan results. Top and side views of the truck bed are colored in 4 colors by delivery destination, next to a table of load factor and weight by vehicle.
    Load Plan Results

    Load Planning

    Plans load order and load volume based on shipment plans, vehicle conditions, and package data.

  • Output image of box size proposals. A table of recommended box sizes and fill rates by order, and a bar chart comparing order counts by box size with the current setup.
    Box Size Proposal

    Optimal Packaging by Volume Calculation

    Calculates the optimal box size from shipment plans and 3D product dimension data by combining rectangular solids. The calculation is more accurate than fluid-volume calculation, so it minimizes box sizes and maximizes pallet loading efficiency at the same time.

  • Packing Simulation

    Evaluates packing plans that keep the risk of load collapse low, taking product size, weight, and loading constraints into account.

  • Shipment Results Monitor

    Reviews the load factor, shipment results, and operations by vehicle to improve load planning.
