Transport planning without exact knowledge about the required quantity of floor spots or loading meters is often difficult, but often required since the required actual capacities are often known only after order picking is completed.
Simulation of the expected shipping units is the solution which the inconso Add-on inconsoS/LSO supports. This shows just one of the application areas for load space optimization.
inconsoS/LSO contains algorithms for the 3-D optimization of cartons, pallets and load spaces. Via the high-performance algorithms, the items are loading into shipping cartons, packed onto pallets and loaded into loading spaces or containers. The processes can be run both individually and in a process chain. The basis for the calculation is orders and deliveries.
Logistic properties such as stack factor and stackability of the item are considered along with the customer specific restrictions during the carton, pallet and load space optimization.
