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 packed rectangular product box 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.

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.

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.

i can show the pattern questions more clearly, but i can't yet say support and access both work. i'll keep the pattern decision open for the combined review.

@LucyBrown0915 That matches the outstanding work. Clearer drawings help, but support and access still need to agree in the assessment.
