Fairino FR10: Is alternating the layers actually right for our cartons?

Our plan for stacking packed cartons onto dispatch pallets with Fairino FR10 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?

@AmyBrooks0815 Start by showing the carton edges that carry load and the pallet deck support on the layer drawings. Is the complete gripper outline available to overlay as well?

We've only got top-view rectangles and a tool centre mark. The carton note specifies support direction, but the layer drawing doesn't show it

Build that combined drawing for packaging and your integrator. Include a repeated, unrotated layer as a simpler candidate; it may suit the support direction better.

Don't let simpler sound like approved. An unrotated layer still needs its load and stability assessed with the actual contents.

Agreed; I meant a comparison option. Packaging must assess both arrangements with the specified cartons and contents, including support and stability.

I thought alternating layers always made a stronger stack. Is that too simple?

@JuliaBaker0500 Too general. The arrangement changes where loads pass through the cartons. Your packaging reviewer needs the actual construction and support geometry to judge it.

I'm holding the pattern decision. A neat footprint doesn't establish the packaging support and tool access our cell needs

@AmyBrooks0815 Understood. The footprint alone hasn't answered either requirement strongly enough to close your decision.
