Backgrounds

Many companies are shipping & delivering wasted spaces

They waste so much time to calculate how many products can be loaded

into containers and trucks

They are unsure how many containers will be needed to ship multiple

orders

Logistics cost is higher than manufacturing’s in Supply Chain

More companies are seeking cost saving solutions in Logistics

- Allocates orders to the proper vehicles with maximized load efficiency

- Various load types

• Mix Load finds optimal number of vehicles to load all orders of different size cartons

• Unit Load calculate optimal pattern type for full container loads of single-size product

• Set Load calculates best qty of each cargo when several cargos should be kept to compose one product

• Multi-Set Load finds optimal number of vehicles to load all orders of different size cartons with regarding multiple destinations and stops

X 30 X 50 X 23

CubeMaster


Vehicle Load Optimization (VLO) - 2

- Considers diverse loading rules

• Multiple cargo styles such as shipcase, palletload, unitload and roll

• Multiple vehicle types (e.g. 40FH x 2, 40FT x 3, 20FT x1)

• Stacking rules

• Grouping for same destinations or stops

• Load orientations and max/min layers

• Loading and unloading sequences

- Useful tools for improving the filled containers

• Change the size of loaded container on the fly

• Spread the load on the floor

• Fill with additional cargoes

• Move loads between two containers

Load Types

Mix Load

● Finds the min number of vehicles needed to load different Cargo types with different order quantities.

Unit Load

● Finds the max number of loads of single Cargo type in a single vehicle.

Set Load

● Finds the max number of loads in a single vehicle to load different Cargo types with different set ratio, for example air-conditioner and audio sets.

Multi-Set Load

● Finds the min number of vehicles needed to load different Cargo types with different set ratio and order quantities.

2-Stages Load

● You can make pallet loads with single or mix cartons and then load trucks and containers with them. You can also mix the pallets and cartons together in a same load . Concept of 2-Stages Load

Load Rules

Cargo Orientations• Controls the Cargo orientations. You can use

directional signs on each orientation, and control to allow turning on the bottom of vehicle.

Max Stacks on each Orientation• Controls maximum stacks on each

orientation. For example if a Cargo should be located on the bottom of container less than 2 layers with orientation 1 and 2, the max stacks of both the orientation 1 and 2 should be 2.

Orientations Priority• Even if all orientations are permitted, you

can give a priority to them. Below picture shows the blue Cargo is loaded with primary orientation in front spaces and others in rear spaces.

Orientation 1 is

used as the

primary

orientation

Other orientations

are used in

remaining spaces

CubeMaster


Load Rules - 2

Loading Sequence• You can give loading sequence to handle

multiple stops and priority loading.

• The Cargos with the smaller loading sequences will be stowed earlier than ones with larger sequences starting from the front area to door (rear) side of the container.

• The left figure shows loads where the blue, green and yellow are loaded sequentially with priorities.

Grouping• Use the group to load according to drop off

or with same order kept together.

• Cargos of the same group will be loaded keeping together and different groups will separate in a container.

• The left figure shows loads where Group 1 and 2 are separated (Group 1 is blue types and 2 is red).

Sequence is used Sequence is NOT used

CubeMaster


Load Rules - 3

Stacking Orders• You can control the vertical locations on

stacking.

• Stacking order can be used to prevent heavy boxes from being put on top of light boxes or put pallets on top of pallets with exactly same sizes.

Limit Cargo types per Vehicle• It controls the max number of Cargo types

when mix-load with different types of Cargos. It allows the user to control the complexity of loads.

• Below 2 figures show the difference of max 4 and 3 types of Cargos.

Stack Value=1

Stack Value=2

Stack Value=3

Stacking Rule Used No Stacking Rule Used Max 4 Types Max 3 Types

CubeMaster


Load Rules - 4

Balance Control• Use 4 rules to make full load into the

remaining vehicles after initial load.

• Next Vehicles Exchanging: Changes the vehicles of lower space utilization with next smaller vehicles

• Order Pulling: Fills the vehicles of lower space utilization with the packages of next orders

• Order Rounding-Down: Drop the vehicle of lower space utilization (Total shipping amount decreased)

• Order Rounding-Up: Fills the vehicles of lower space utilization with the packages existing in the vehicles (Total shipping amount increased)

Piece Count of Cargo• Use the piece count for specific Cargo. For

example, a new ship case called BOX has 12 cans inside. You will enter 12 as the piece count when defining BOX as a new Cargo. When you add a quantity of 100 BOX to the load list, the total piece count will indicate 1200 cans.

No Turning on the Bottom of Vehicle• Even when all orientations permitted,

control allowance of the turning orientations on the bottom of vehicle.

Load Rules - 5

Partial Load through Locking• You can lock loads or vehicles to prevent

them from changing next load. Through this rule, you can make a partial loads and fleets plan.

Change Vehicle Type on the fly• Without reloading all vehicles, you can

replace the specific vehicle with another type with just one-click.

Loose Item• Breaks up pallet loads and load the Cargos

in the pallet as loose items to fill vacant space in the vehicle.

Limit Load Weight and Volume• Controls total loads not exceed the

maximum weight and volume of the vehicle. It allows the user for example to equally divide the boxes among the available containers.

Axle Weight and Center of Gravity• Axle weight and exact location of center of

gravity for all loads are calculated automatically.
