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 for

QUICK PALLET MAKER - FEATURES
Start from Primary Package: The Quick Pallet Maker user can choose to start to create an optimal pallet load by entering the primary
package dimensions, the box construction type and constraints, the dimensions of the physical shipping pallet and the pallet load
constraints

Start from Box Dimensions: Optimal pallet arrangements can be calculated with Quick Pallet Maker by introducing the case sizes, the
pallet 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. The
standard cases can be used to accommodate a fixed number of primary packages or to fit as many primary packages as possible into
the cases with those dimensions
Design boxes from PP dimensions: The default calculation mode will produce boxes that are big enough to fit a predetermined
amount of primary packages within it. The internal box dimensions are then equal to the external dimensions of the regular group of
primary packages

Fit into standard case dimensions: As explained before, the user can add standard case dimensions (off-the-shelf boxes) to be reused
in different packaging situations. The most common use for this range of boxes is to enter a fixed case count and then check which
one 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 in
different orientations in order to fit as many as possible within the box. All of this is done while taking care of not exceeding the
maximum slack allowed

Use standard pallet dimensions: Commonly-used pallet dimensions can be stored within the standard cases and pallets window in
order 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 basic
arrangements, 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 as
possible 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 strength
that must be supported by each one of the boxes in the pallet. In this case, Quick Pallet Maker provides a method to automatically
alternate 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 Pallet
Maker 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 primary
package (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 a
spreadsheet program or text editor

Palletization Movie: Quick Pallet Maker includes a feature that creates an animation of the pallet under construction. This animation (in
QuickTime 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-
