Pack To Mixed Bins

The calculation is able to take into account multiple bin sizes and combines them in order to come to an efficient shipping solution.

It is able to take into account allowed rotation types and mandatory consolidation for subsets of items. The result of this endpoint contains all information that would be required to make use of packing visualization.

Answers Questions Such As

  • We have x number of different pallets available; which combination of pallets should we use?
  • How many pallets of each type do we need to ship today/tomorrow/next week?
  • Can we be make our transportation more efficient by using different pallet sizes?
  • How much space will be left if we place our items on our available pallets right now?
  • Where in the bin should we place our items?

Notable Features

  • Indicate which packing metric should be minimized by specifying a minimizationStrategy.
  • Specify allowedRotations for each item to prevent unwanted item rotations.
  • Keep control of packing consolidation by providing a consolidationKey.
  • Provide additional item stacking restrictions by including a stackingStyle.
  • Bottom-up or side-to-side packing by specifying the required packingDirection.
