Is alternating the layers actually right for our cartons?

Our plan for planning alternating carton layers on a pallet with Fairino FR10 in a carton palletising project has a very neat alternating layer drawing. But a corrugated case of components 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?

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

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.

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

Your reason for holding the pattern is clear: its arrangement hasn't established the support and access required by the cell.
