Master Data Pallet Type
The ALC palletizing software calculates optimal stacking patterns of orders consisting of a set of articles. Every article is linked to one package type, which describes its physical parameters. For every Package Type and Pallet Type one or more Layer Patterns are defined.
Depending on the customer's requirement different Pallet Types will be used during the palletizing.
The core parameters of a Pallet Type are:
- pallet_no (int): Unique identifier of a Pallet Type
- pallet_name (str): Name of the Pallet Type
- pallet_length (int): Length of the pallet
- pallet_width: (int): Width of the pallet
- pallet_height: (int): Height of the actual empty pallet
- load_height (int): Maximum load height, which can be used to put units onto the pallet.
All dimensions values are currently given in inches * 100. Thus a pallet, which has a length of 48 inches, has to be given as pallet_length = 4800.
In the following table, different Pallet Types are displayed.
 Pallet Type 1: Large Pallet |
 Pallet Type 2: Half Pallet |
