Container Load Optimizer: Maximize space utilization

SCY Labs helps manufacturers, suppliers and distributors to achieve their strategic goals and gain competitive advantage with the help of supply chain planning solutions.

Optimize the Packing Utilization of Container or Vehicle

A comprehensive range of supply chain services
Generate optimal load plans for different customer orders to save on shipment costs

Loading Cylindrical Products

  • Geometry based loading … consider the circularity of tires and the specific dimensions of containers along with tolerances
  • Mixed SKUs … diverse set of tires with different dimensions that could present in a load
  • ‘Tire in tire’ … consider loading tires inside outer tires based on gap tolerance
  • Priority … tires of a specific type need to be loaded first
  • Sequence … consider specific order of loading tires to enable easy unloading at the destination
  • Stacking constraints … the size & weight of a tire that can be stacked above each tire
  • Traditional loading solutions work with products with cuboidal dimensions & cannot provide optimal loading plans for cylindrical products
  • SCY Labs customized Solver has been specifically developed for this application to create the best loading plan for cylindrical products
“Take >5% cost out of your truck load expenses through optimized container loading while meeting schedules”
