What Do We Mean by This?
A load unit is the way you group or package goods for transport. Think of:
- Euro pallets, block pallets
- Roll containers, crates, drums
- ULDs (Unit Load Devices for air freight)
Proper management prevents wasted space and protects goods from damage.
Why Is It Often Overlooked?
Many companies work ad hoc: pallets are stacked however they fit, and loading is done by eye. The result: inefficiency, product damage, and unhappy customers.
Why Is It So Important?
- Better load utilization = lower transport costs
- Better protection = fewer damages
- Standardization = faster processing
What Can Babeldat Do?
- Integration with packaging models per customer or product type
- Automatic calculation of load unit types
- Digital instructions for warehouse staff
- Visual feedback for proper loading (e.g. 3D preview)
