PackSolver

PackSolver simplifies, automates, and optimizes the design of packaging, palletization, and loading plans. Far beyond “Tetris,” it eliminates loading capacity approximations, helps you choose the most suitable packaging, and select the priority order lines to be shipped.

Any shape, any container, any constraint

A decision-support tool

Boost your productivity gains thanks to a global optimization: selection of the best assortment of supports and containers (pallets, rolls, trays, containers, AKE…). PackSolver even goes so far as to offer you optimal positioning of your items in « tetris » mode to facilitate loading and stowing while accounting for the most complex constraints (stackability, stability, nesting, incompatibility, order grouping, weight distribution…).

Suited to your packing process

Benefit from an all-in-one solver capable of handling each step of your packing process (packaging, palletization, compartmentalization, containerization…), both independently and simultaneously for greater gains. Integrate your transportation, production, and order preparation challenges with our assembled solvers.

Use case examples

Make Packing a key to operational performance

Case No. 1: Reduce your linear meters and make better use of your resources (pallets, trucks, containers, ULDs…). PackSolver automatically computes the optimal positioning of each item in each container, accounting for stackability, stability and unloading sequence constraints.

Case No. 2: Optimize the product mix of your shipments with the prioritization feature and real-time loading plan simulation. PackSolver simulates different order combinations in real time, identifies the most profitable mix to load, and suggests complementary order lines to complete each shipment.

Case No. 3: Quantify and anticipate your needs by determining the number of pallets, containers or trucks required based on orders to be shipped. PackSolver calculates, from order manifests, the exact number of containers needed — not based on a volume estimate, but on a real item-by-item 3D positioning.

Fewer empty trips Less leftovers at docks More storage space Increased sales

FAQ

A packing optimization solver is a software engine designed to solve complex business problems related to parceling, palletization, and loading plans. Leveraging advanced optimization algorithms, it is a decision-making tool to help selecting the best assortment of supports and containers, optimizing product mix consolidation, planning shipments, and determining the 3D positioning of items.

In order to optimize your loading plan, we need 3 main types of data: 1) the order forms with the requested product quantities; 2) the list of product packaging characteristics (weight, dimensions, stackability,…); 3) the list of available supports (box or pallets) and containers or ULDS and their characteristics.

Yes, PackSolver determines the exact number of trucks, containers, or pallets required based on the orders to be shipped. This is not just an estimate, but a true quantification based on the exact 3D positioning of each item to be packaged or loaded. Additionally, the 3D visualization features allow you to verify your loading plans, ensuring their feasibility and reliability.

Yes, Atoptima’s optimization technologies are designed to handle parceling, palletization and loading in synergy. For a leader in the production of garden furniture, our solutions made it possible to simultaneously design the palletization of packages on pallets and the arrangement of pallets in the truck to minimize floor space and increase filling rates. Discover this use case!

Our optimization softwares model and compute the optimal solution (contrary to an approximate estimate of the occupied capacity) in an ultra-precise and mathematical way, while considering all the constraints of each product as well as their dimensions. In this way, they produce a 3D (or 2D) model that allows the ideal loading plan to be visualized in advance, and thus the feasibility and reliability of the solution to be verified.

In addition to the « Tetris », PackSolver optimizes critical decisions related to palletization and 3D loading, by optimizing the selection of the best combination of supports and containers, the consolidation of product mix, and the planning of shipments. The tool also distributes products across different shipments while considering physical and organizational constraints, thereby reducing the total number of transport units needed. PackSolver also enables you to optimize the product mix of your shipments by simulating your loading plan in real-time, giving you the opportunity to upsell and thus maximize your sales.

The strength of PackSolver lies in its +25 years of experience in mathematical optimization, which results in unmatched performance and superior solution quality. With its systemic approach, PackSolver tackles critical and complex decisions through a comprehensive, all-in-one optimization logic that takes into account even the most complex loading constraints (stackability, stability, nesting, incompatibility, order grouping, weight distribution, etc.).

Yes, PackSolver accounts for all compartmentalization constraints, particularly by product type (fresh, frozen, dry, bulk, sensitive, hazardous, etc.). Compartments can vary in size, with fixed or removable walls.

Atoptima’s optimization tools are designed with a very generic approach to address your problem comprehensively. This ensures that all your constraints, even the most specific ones or those that may arise in the future, are considered. This is the result of extensive expertise in mathematical modeling, which guarantees significant flexibility and scalability of the solution.

PackSolver supports companies in designing their loading and palletization plans. PackSolver users typically observe an average 30% reduction in operational costs. Among its main benefits are:

Automation of loading plan design (time savings, increased reliability)

Elimination of leftovers on the bay

Increased vehicle filling rates

Improved sales through optimized product mix

Increased storage space

Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions

Reliable, resilient solutions that can be visually verified through an ergonomic interface
