Packaging- and Unit Load Optimization with PUZZLE®

What can PUZZLE® do?

PUZZLE® optimizes the loading of pallets and shipping cartons. In addition to the calculation of the most favourable arrangement of packages in a defined space, the software also provides help in selecting a suitable loading aid. Transport costs can be reduced through the efficient use of space. The division of large orders into individual loading units also shortens order throughput times. Thanks to the exact precalculation, the required transport capacity can be precisely determined in advance. Packing processes can be precisely controlled: time-consuming trying and repacking is no longer necessary. PUZZLE® works reliably even with large product ranges. Optimization results can be made available in various ways - e.g. in form of interactive 3D graphics.
