I'm checking an alternating carton pattern for our planned FR10 warehouse cell. Some rotated cartons bridge gaps against their preferred support direction. Who should review the bearing and tool access together?
And invite whoever deals with a damaged or incomplete pallet, because a pattern can be convenient until someone has to finish it by hand under the approved procedure.
I'd put the count on the agenda as a preference, not a condition that every proposal must satisfy. Otherwise the meeting might reject the first useful alternative before looking at it.
Nora's right. Compare actual packed-carton bearing regions over the lower layer, including placement order and the space needed as the fingers open and leave.
Yes, we overlaid it. Two rotated positions have their intended bearing strips over the gaps. Packaging is checking alternatives. Thanks for getting the lower layer into this.
Keep those positions identifiable in the alternative review. A sheet or another rotation changes more than the top view, and the tool designer needs the same revision.
Original pattern is on hold. Warehouse still wants its count, but now packaging and tooling are bringing options to one meeting. No replacement accepted yet.
