The layer pattern fits, but some cartons sit over gaps (Fairino FR10)

I'm reviewing an alternating layer pattern for our planned stacking packed cartons onto dispatch pallets with Fairino FR10 in a workshop packing department. Although the drawing fits the cartons neatly, a sealed corrugated shipping carton has a preferred support direction and some rotated positions lie above gaps. I'd like a joint review of packaging support and tool access before accepting it.

@MeiChan1125 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?

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.

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.

@TobyBrooks0840 Don't let simpler sound like approved. An unrotated layer still needs its load and stability assessed with the actual contents.

@BrunoBennett0713 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.

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