Basic Features
Cargoload greatly assists with the efficient loading of packages and pallets into cargo carriers (such as trucks or containers), thus ensuring optimum utilization of resources.
The use of Cargoload as standalone PC-software (as distinguished from the control module Cargoload-Robot described in Integration in Flow Control) generally proceeds according to the following pattern:
Definition of loading order: the number and size of the type of goods to be loaded (where "goods" can be considered either packages or pallets)
Computational process runs (= "program determines the optimum solution in the background") Representation of calculated results |
1. |
With regard to Package Loading, different possible loading computations are produced:
|
||||
packages on pallets → PackToPal Loading Resulting package groupings calculated (i.e. larger packages) can then be transferred in a second step, PalToTruck Loading. |
|
||||
in-between step of pallet loading. → PackToTruck Loading
|

2. |
During the Loading of Pallets, computations can be made for how the pallets are to best be loaded onto trucks → PalToTruck Loading These may contain NoPack-Pallets as well as Pack-Pallets. Pack-Pallets are those pallets that have been loaded during the intermediate loading of packages onto pallets (PackToPal Loading). NoPack-Pallets are pallets that have been packed by another means - in the latter case neither the internal loading nor its optimization problem are relevant for the application. |

Cargoload produces these results with three different types of computations (as one-step data calculations).
