AutoLoaderT3
 

 

AutoLoaderT3  takes shipment data and creates a detailed loading plan that tells a forklift driver where to place each pallet to make a legal, damage-free load.  This speeds up the loading process, reduces product cuts and virtually eliminates reloads.

AutoLoaderT3, an innovative truck loading software system originally developed for Procter & Gamble, uses an expert rule-driven planning engine to help companies of any size and industry to load trailers with greater efficiency.  A sophisticated multi-threaded server based optimization program, it can be called from most order management or warehouse management systems.  While P&G was already recognized as possessing some of the best warehousing and distribution operations, AutoLoaderT3 has helped them make the next improvement leap in the areas of dock and warehouse productivity, while supporting faster training and enhanced customer service.
   
AutoLoaderT3 key benefits include:
   
Maximizing cube/weight utilization in the trailer
AutoLoaderT3 enables additional weight and cube to be carried -- significantly reducing total costs
Enabling less skilled staff to be proficient truck loaders
Minimizing product damage
Meeting customer-specific requirements.  For example, ensuring a load is configured so it can be unloaded at a narrow or low dock door
   
Case Study: Changing the labor force overnight in a large warehouse proceeded flawlessly because of AutoLoaderT3
 

When a Fortune 100  manufacturing company outsourced one of its warehouse operations, low-cost labor replaced highly-skilled, company-employed staff.  There was no time for a learning curve.  On Sunday the skilled loaders left, on Monday the contractor was expected to load 100+ trucks...and do it without a hitch.  Thanks to AutoLoaderT3 providing  instructions on how and where to place every pallet, shipping volume was maintained and customers were unaware that there had even been a change.  Maybe this should not be called a Case Study -- rather it could be called yet another success story.

 

Often loaders have different ideas about what constitutes a good load.  To get everybody on the same page, it is often useful to create a document outlining loading principles.  Click below to see a draft of some of the things to consider when loading trucks
