Reduction of ‘Air’ in Shipping
Load building can serve many needs. From determining the right box for the right order, or helping to (re)design products to fit in the optimal box size, to picking the right combination of items that will fit in a box, ORTEC has the solution for you. And fitting pallets in a trailer or container in such a way that the weight is distributed safely while making sure that it’s easy to unload pallets in the required order is another complex question that ORTEC has the answer to.
Routing is equally important. Which pallets should go on which truck, and in what order? Which routes should these trucks follow to make their deliveries most efficiently? And do they deliver to the end user directly, or is it better to let them unload at a hub and have a smaller van do the last mile into a congested city?
The challenges
- Reduce the amount of air in the supply chain process by increasing the fill rate
- Complex loading rules result in a time-consuming planning process
- Predict the capacity needed to handle the expected workload efficiently
How we create value?
