Most products are shipped in boxes and then in standard pallets. Most of the time, these standard pallets are shipped within standard containers or in trucks. Frequently, there is some extra volume and/or weight in the containers or in the trucks that is billed anyway by the carrier but that is not used by the client. The use of this extra space through software tools should be an important factor for all manufacturers. Based on this need, at SCA Mecanica we have created Quick Pallet Maker, an easy to learn pallet loading/ package design program that allows the user to calculate the optimal secondary package dimensions and pallet arrangements, thus reducing shipping costs.
Our Review: Quick Pallet Maker is a box and pallet stacking program. Taking the variables of packaging, the product and the pallet you are using, it gives back the variations of packing angles to help maximise shipping, and minimise shipping cost. The interface is clumsy, and statistics hard to follow at times, but once the program is understood fully, can be very useful.
