Before I sign off a pallet drawing full of neat rectangles

Our plan for palletising sealed product cartons with Universal Robots UR5e in a small finished-goods dispatch area has a very neat alternating layer drawing. But a labelled dispatch carton 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?

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

@MiaBennett0731 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.

@KaiArcher0367 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.
