Our plan for arranging shipping cartons in pallet layers with Fairino FR5 in a workshop packing department has a very neat alternating layer drawing.
But a sealed corrugated shipping carton has a preferred support direction, and some rotated cartons sit over gaps.
I want packaging support and tool access reviewed together before I accept the pattern.
Where should I start?
@HarishAllen0315 My current layer drawing shows carton footprints and a tool centre point only. It hasn't incorporated the support direction specified in the carton documentation.
@ZaraCarter1004 Give packaging and the integrator a drawing combining those details. A repeated unrotated layer is worth assessing alongside the alternating one because it may better suit the specified support direction.
The repeated arrangement remains a candidate, not an accepted solution. Its support and load stability still need assessment for the cartons with their actual contents.
You're right to qualify the suggestion. I intended an alternative for comparison, with both patterns requiring packaging assessment of support and stability using the specified filled cartons.
Too general. The arrangement changes where loads pass through the cartons. Your packaging reviewer needs the actual construction and support geometry to judge it.
The layer overlay shows carton edges above gaps below. That gives me something specific to mark for packaging instead of saying the pattern feels wrong.
I've got a useful review basis now: show support and the complete tool on the layer drawings, then have both specialists assess it.
That answers my starting question; the pattern itself remains conditional on their findings.
