The original turned row put carton supports above finger gaps. The revised proposal leaves those cartons for manual finishing, without showing where the person or part-finished pallet goes. Can we compare support and the added work before calling this the simpler layout?
Yes. Ask for the proposed finishing task and location alongside the revised full-stack support and withdrawal assessment. A lower automatic count may be sensible, but the omitted handling cannot be treated as free or automatically accessible.
I've put that back to the project engineer. We haven't even chosen the finishing location. The current drawing is an option with missing work, not an agreed operating method.
