What is 3D Load Configurator?


3D Load Configurator placement was designed to pack
three dimensional rectangular objects into a rectangular
container, considering constraints including:
Orientation preferences (i.e. Upright, Prone,
Lengthwise, Widthwise)
Stacking compatibilities (i.e. bottom only, max
stacking layer = 2, floor compatibility, max top
weight, and max height overhang constraints such
as maximum of 20% unsupported)
Myth: 3D Load Configurator configuration is complex!!!

Ship Unit Specification - Header Values

A Ship Unit Spec (or often referred to as the Transport Handling Unit/THU) does not
need Length, Width, and Height populated if these values are sent into OTM.
These values could also get copied from the Packaged Item to the Ship Unit.

Stack Below Orientation Profile


Example: Must model the fact that Ranges cannot be stacked under Refrigerators,
regardless of the orientation. You would need to create a profile so Refrigerators and
all its orientations are not compatible. Then attach this profile to Ranges and all their
possible orientations.

Planning Parameters
A new CONTAINER OPT CONFIG ID for the new Conopt functionality must be configured in the
Planning Parameter set. The old version of Load Config must be turned off when using the new
version. This is done by specifying NO LOAD CONFIG as the parameter for LOAD CONFIG
ENGINE TYPE.

0: NO MIXING ALLOWED
1: WIDTHWISE MIXING ALLOWED
2: WIDTHWISE AND STACKING MIXING ALLOWED
Note: By setting this to 2, you will maximize the space in the equipment.

Planning Parameters Logic Config

This MUST be enabled for 3D Load Config

If the default of 50 is not changed, the


truck volume must exceed 50% before 3D
Load Config will be enabled

Planning Parameters Logic Config


EMPTY SPACE SORT CRITERIA: Controls the way in which the truck is
loaded. The Default = 3, which means that we try to load the width of the
trailer first, height next and the length of the trailer at the end.

Sample Scenario: Refrigerator (18.2 Cubic Feet)
L 34.75 W 30.5 H 70.1
Preferred Orientation: Upright Lengthwise
Allowable Orientation: Prone Widthwise

Spaces for multi-stop are driven by the Multi-stop Mixing
Rule Planning Parameter. In this case, Parameter is set to 0
(No mixing allowed).

Pros
Optimize Trailer or Container Volumetric Utilization
By placing disparate items in a container as
efficiently as possible given a set of constraints, an
overall lower number of containers will be required.
Provide an interactive graphical image of the solve
This will provide planners and warehouse
personnel with indications as to how a particular solve
built the shipment in question.
Tool also aids in configuration testing.
OTM 3D can be used along with the rainbow pallet
functionality which allows OTM to construct the pallets
and then optimize into the equipment using 3D Load
Config.

35

Cons
3-D Load Configuration must be used with
items meant to be 3-D configured.
Attempting to plan non 3-D load configuration
items (those without appropriate ship unit
specification constraints set) in the same bulk
plan with 3-D load configuration items will
result in an exception.

Lessons Learned

When setting the Domain Default Planning Parameter set, keep in mind that some actions may
revert to the Domain Default Planning Parameter set. If this is not 3D enabled, the shipment will
change from 3D PLACEMENT to NO LOAD CONFIG and an error will be displayed when
attempting to view the shipment in 3D.

Lessons Learned (Continued)


Planning Parameter for 3D is all or nothing if you need to
separate Order Releases for 3D and non 3D, must have
separate Planning Parameter sets
Ensure that each ship unit has a Transport Handling Unit
Take advantage of ADA rules for auto-assignment of THUs
Set LOAD CONFIG VOLUME THRESHOLD Planning
Parameter to 0
Equipment group must have dimensions set (Height, Width
and Length)
Itinerary should NOT have Equipment Assignment Type as
NO Equipment
