Problem Statement:
A Billion dollar US company needed to optimize the packing of containers on the pallet, which are then placed in trucks for transportation.
Solution:
The Pallet Optimizer incorporated different types of containers on the same pallet, assigned heavy containers at the bottom, medium-weight containers on top of them, and light containers on top of the medium-weight containers. It ensured that the bottom of the pallet was tightly packaged with containers to maintain balance and incorporated restrictions such as only having containers for a given specific order.
Benefits:
The Pallet Optimizer saved the company in excess of $6 million per year by optimizing the pallet packing process, reducing transportation costs, and improving efficiency.
