How to professionalise through better stacking?

Efficient stacking is a challenging puzzle

It seems so simple and basic: the efficient stacking of (boxes of) products, on pallets or in containers. Because the packaging, content, dimensions, composition and order quantity of customer orders are always different, it turns out to be much more difficult in practice.

Warehouse employees therefore spend a lot of time trying to fit and measure. Because incorrect stacking can lead to small, but sometimes also big problems. How nice would it be if your staff could see immediately at the order what the required capacity and the most optimal stacking method is? Then you save a lot of loading time and (hidden) transport costs because less air is transported.

Smart and cheaper stacking

Are you looking for a way to efficiently fill boxes, stack better on pallets and load containers and trucks? The web-based stacking program StackAssist of Faes calculates effortlessly and quickly the most optimal loading and stacking method, regardless of the type of transport or the available space. So you can work on volume reduction and increase your predictability and professionalism.

Poor stacking sometimes leads to disastrous effects. More and more companies realise that stacking can and must be done more professionally and are looking for (automated) solutions.
