Start with the packed case's required bearing areas over the layer underneath, then put the tool's release and withdrawal into that same arrangement; the neat outside rectangle answers neither question on its own.
22 pointsWe have the packing support sketch. Tooling's view shows an isolated closed gripper, not cartons already placed.
24 pointsInclude incomplete layers. I have been asking that on other patterns because the last order rarely ends exactly where the drawing likes it
24 pointsAnd agree who handles the last few cases. An unsupported partial pattern cannot be fixed merely by writing manual finish beside it
6 pointsOliver, agreed, but that does not rule out a separately assessed manual finishing method if the project wants one; it means the handling method and space need their own decision.
9 pointsBen, has packaging identified particular rejected positions yet, or only asked for the missing support view?
25 pointsOnly asked for the view. I won't call any position rejected until they assess the actual packed-case support.
24 pointsRebecca Archer, yes, separately assessed was my point. I do not want the drawing's missing last step quietly assigned to whoever is nearest
20 pointsBen, does dispatch need particular label faces visible? That could constrain any alternative orientation you later consider
9 pointsTwo outside faces need readable labels. Dispatch has added that to the review, with partial loads included. Thanks Rebecca Ali for raising unfinished layers.
23 pointsThen keep those requirements beside any proposed change, since rotating a case to improve support could leave the downstream worker turning an entire load to identify it.
1 pointsHas the combined view exposed an actual support conflict now, Ben?
18 pointsYes. Packaging rejected the turned end row as drawn. Tooling has not assessed withdrawal on a replacement layout yet.
12 pointsI had that outcome on a separate pattern. We compared a revised alternating arrangement with an aligned one; neither earned approval just by avoiding the first rejected row
6 pointsOur designer is proposing an aligned candidate now. No replacement pattern chosen; label visibility and partial loads remain requirements.
16 pointsWhat does that candidate do to pallet count? Worth knowing before everyone grows attached to the simpler picture
15 pointsAnd ask tooling to show withdrawal beside placed neighbours, not return to the isolated gripper view for the new candidate.
17 pointsPallet-count effect not supplied yet. I've kept it open with withdrawal and dispatch checks, rather than replacing one accepted stamp with another.
