Summary
QUICK PALLET MAKER LOAD OPTIMIZATION Quick Pallet Maker is an application that was designed to help the package designer create optimal box and pallet arrangements to fit more products into a pallet or container load, thus minimizing shipping costs. All of this while adhering to plant guidelines such as practical box proportions, maximum box weight, etc
Quick Pallet Maker can use either standard box sizes and add slack accordingly or create new box dimensions as a function of the primary package dimensions. For users that already know their box dimensions, QPM offers an input window where the user enters box dimensions, making it even faster to obtain a result. Resulting pallets can be modified to accommodate more boxes within a layer or to shift layers to obtain greater stability. Other functions include box compression calculations and inserting internal box dividers
What does Quick Pallet Maker do? Quick Pallet Maker provides rules to a user that wishes to pack a product into boxes and then into a standard load size, be it a pallet or a container as the final package. Results provided by QPM reduce costs as much as possible while adhering to packaging specifications forCALCULATE PALLET LOADS DESIGN BOX SIZES FILL MULTI-PRODUCT PALLETSQuick Pallet Maker calculates optimal pallet If only the dimensions and case count of the Using a list of multiple boxes and theirloads from external carton dimensions, primary package are known, Quick Pallet amounts, Quick Pallet Maker can calculate theindependently of the box’s contents.

QUICK PALLET MAKER - FEATURESStart from Primary Package: The Quick Pallet Maker user can choose to start to create an optimal pallet load by entering the primarypackage dimensions, the box construction type and constraints, the dimensions of the physical shipping pallet and the pallet loadconstraints
Start from Box Dimensions: Optimal pallet arrangements can be calculated with Quick Pallet Maker by introducing the case sizes, thepallet dimensions and the pallet load constraints
Standard Cases and Pallets: Quick Pallet Maker contains a list of cases and pallets that can be reused in different problem types. Thestandard cases can be used to accommodate a fixed number of primary packages or to fit as many primary packages as possible intothe cases with those dimensionsDesign boxes from PP dimensions: The default calculation mode will produce boxes that are big enough to fit a predeterminedamount of primary packages within it. The internal box dimensions are then equal to the external dimensions of the regular group ofprimary packages
Fit into standard case dimensions: As explained before, the user can add standard case dimensions (off-the-shelf boxes) to be reusedin different packaging situations. The most common use for this range of boxes is to enter a fixed case count and then check whichone of the standard cases is close enough to the calculated dimensions to be used as the packaging box
Fill standard cases: This calculating mode will start from the dimensions of the standard cases and then add primary packages indifferent orientations in order to fit as many as possible within the box. All of this is done while taking care of not exceeding themaximum slack allowed
Use standard pallet dimensions: Commonly-used pallet dimensions can be stored within the standard cases and pallets window inorder to be selected when necessary
Regular pallets: The default pallet calculation will arrange the boxes by layers within the restricted area of the pallet. In these basicarrangements, the boxes are completely aligned, either lengthwise or transversal to the pallet length
Optimized pallets: Optimization algorithms built into Quick Pallet Maker will rearrange the boxes in the pallets in order to fit as many aspossible into a pallet layer, even if the outcome is not a regular arrangement
Pinwheel (display) patterns: Quick Pallet Maker can produce pallet arrangements that are specially made for displaying box sides and/or box lengths to customers. This is done automatically from one of the pallet commands
Alternate and Mix Layers: In some cases, it is more important to maintain the stability of the pallet load than to optimize the strengththat must be supported by each one of the boxes in the pallet. In this case, Quick Pallet Maker provides a method to automaticallyalternate the pallet layers. In other cases, a new pallet can be formed using arrangements from different pallets
Layer Editor: In some cases, the desired pallet arrangement does not match any of the available optimizations in Quick Pallet Maker
For these cases, we have added the Layer Editor, which allows the user to rotate and move the boxes one by one
Single-Sized Objects: Use the Quick Pallet Maker container fill window for calculating how many packs (pallets, boxes or cylinders)can be fit into a container
Multiple-Sized Objects: Create a shipment of certain amounts of pallets, boxes and drums for delivery within a container. Quick PalletMaker optimizes the arrangement of these objects to reduce costs as much as possible
Detailed Report: The default output option for pallets created with Quick Pallet Maker is to present the pallet, box and primarypackage (if applicable) drawings, along with information of the dimensions of each one of these packaging components
Report Text: The text from the detailed report can be exported independently of the graphics in order for it to be opened with aspreadsheet program or text editor
Palletization Movie: Quick Pallet Maker includes a feature that creates an animation of the pallet under construction. This animation (inQuickTime format) can be shared with co-workers that have installed the free QuickTime viewer in their PCs
Output File Formats: XML, CSV (for box coordinates), SVG, MS Excel (pallet report), JPEG, BMP, PICT and other QuickTime-supported formats (for report graphics), QuickTime Movie (.mov) for pallet and container fill animations CONTAINER LOADING the given elements.
