Is alternating the layers actually right for our cartons? (Fairino FR10)

Our plan for planning alternating carton layers on a pallet with Fairino FR10 in a workshop packing department 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?

Start by showing the carton edges that carry load and the pallet deck support on the layer drawings. Is the complete gripper outline available to overlay as well?

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.

@ElliotBaker0509 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.

The drawings can now be framed around the relevant questions, although suitable support and access haven't both been established. Acceptance remains open pending their combined assessment.

@ElliotBaker0509 That matches the outstanding work. Clearer drawings help, but support and access still need to agree in the assessment.
