3D Container Load Planning: Visualize Before You Ship
Container capacity is a planning input, not a promised saving. A useful 3D load plan combines item dimensions, weights, orientation, stackability, and loading-order rules so logistics and warehouse teams can review the same proposed layout before packing begins.
Current OLT Supplier Portal Planner Capabilities
The current Supplier Portal planner uses cargo rows entered or edited on screen. It does not load purchase orders or inventory directly, accept custom container dimensions, generate step-by-step loading instructions, or export loading diagrams.
-
Manual Cargo Entry
Enter or edit cargo name, SKU, quantity, dimensions, unit, weight, and stackability in the cargo editor before recalculating the plan.
-
Three Fixed Container Presets
Choose 20ft Standard, 40ft Standard, or 40ft High Cube; custom container dimensions are not available.
-
Deterministic Candidate Placement
Use the entered cargo and selected preset to calculate a deterministic candidate arrangement for team review.
-
Volume and Coarse Weight Balance
Review used and available volume, total weight, front/back and left/right weight splits, and a coarse balance indicator from the candidate layout.
-
Interactive 3D Controls
Rotate, zoom, pan, explode, and select boxes in the interactive on-screen view.
-
On-Screen Manifest
Open the on-screen manifest to review each placed item's identifiers, dimensions, coordinates, weight, and load order; no diagram or manifest export is provided.
- Measure each item's packed dimensions and weight from current records
- Record orientation, stackability, separation, and access constraints
- Validate proposed layouts against equipment, carrier, and safety requirements
- Compare planned and actual loads before estimating any financial effect
