Can this alternating pattern support the load it arranges?

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 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.

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

@AmaraBaker0513 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.

@TheoCarter1019 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.
