TPV Technology is the worldโs largest manufacturer of LCD monitors with a steady market share of over 30% and a leading provider of LCD TVs and display solutions. TPV has established a global presence with a total of 13 manufacturing bases, 8 innovation & development centers, and over 3,500 sales & service centers across the globe. TPV Display Technology (Xiamen) Co., Ltd., a branch of TPV Technology in China, has been partnered with LoadMaster load planning optimization software for 3 years.
As a huge manufacturer, our products vary in size and weight and two-step loading is required, namely the cargoes should be first palletized and then loaded into containers. Because of different loading capacity of various cargoes, defining which cargoes should be placed lower and which cargoes should be placed higher is never an easy job. Since different cargoes are stacked in different warehouses, the loading sequence of cargoes should be taken into consideration while calculating the load plan. And it would become way more complex when it comes to the scenario that various kinds of cargoes need to be palletized and then loaded into container. If pallets are not fully utilized, the container utilization rate will also be decreased.
Under such circumstance comes our lifesaver, LoadMaster load planning optimization software. Letโs see what has surprised us a lot!
As for our loading requirements of the sequence and loading orientations of cargoes, LoadMaster load planning optimization software can meet them by setting two parameters in the software, stacking orders and loading sequence. Also when we have cargoes from a number of orders to be loaded, LoadMaster load calculator can achieve that cargoes belonging to the same order be loaded to other containers as little as possible. The container utilization rate has also been greatly improved. 3D diagram can be shared to mobile platforms to guide on-site loading.
What surprises me most is that after changing wooden pallets to slip sheets, with reference to the loading solution offered by LoadMaster load planning optimization software, now a 40HQ can load cargoes at a height of 2.62m, improving by 0.62m from 2m. In this way, the container utilization rate has thereby greatly increased from 60% to 92%-93%, helping us save a significant amount of freight costs.
