Optimising loads
February 1st 2011 Research indicates that most product
damage occurs within the first 10
minutes of a vehicle's journey. So
correct loading and stacking is vital.
RedPrairie offers a pallet and load
optimisation solution that balances
demands and constraints to achieve
cost effective distribution. These
include configurations for stacking,
size, weight, packaging, material
density, shipping requirements,
delivery sequencing, customer
compliance and product protection.
A typical UK trailer has a deck
footprint of 26 pallets and a volume
of around 78 cubic metres with a
weight limit of approximately 30
tonnes.Marrying these factors with
product orders requires a versatile
solution. One that can create a
physical map of the trailer and ensure
efficient loading. This will indicate
pallet orientation, left-right pallet
placement and front to back loading.
It also provides a 3-D rendering of the
load trailer. More articles from RedPrairie Ltd: |
