Before I sign off a pallet drawing full of neat rectangles

I'm reviewing an alternating layer pattern for our planned planning alternating carton layers on a pallet with Fairino FR10 in a carton palletising project. Although the drawing fits the cartons neatly, a labelled dispatch 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.

Does your layer drawing show the load-bearing carton edges and pallet deck beneath them? Add those, then overlay the complete gripper outline

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

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.

@NoraBrooks0844 Agreed; I meant a comparison option. Packaging must assess both arrangements with the specified cartons and contents, including support and stability

Doesn't alternating the carton directions strengthen a stack, or is that assumption too general here?

@SamBrown0942 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.
