Destacking and Palletisation

 

 

You can keep production running smoothly by using the DS module, which streamlines throughput at the saw by planning the off-stacking process. It gives you a list of pallet requirements or a baseboard cutting list and minimises the number of open parts, ensuring finished items go to assembly as quickly as possible, and keeping related items together.

You define the size of any mechanised off-stacking stations and the module will constrain cutting patterns to match, adapting to suit your factory and storage facilities exactly so there are no bottlenecks.

 

 

A station report provides information for loading pallets or baseboards to the off-stacking area.
 

A list of baseboards is calculated from the part sizes according to rules which include oversize allowance, layout constraints and maximum stacking height. These rules can be defined individually for each part if required. The result is a baseboard cutting list ready for its own optimisation.
 

A destacking summary shows pattern by pattern on which pallet each part must be placed.
 

A picture shows the layout of parts on each pallet or baseboard. The use of runners instead of pallets or baseboards is also managed.
 

The palletising data may be downloaded to automatic destacking equipment.
 

You can obtain labels for pallets or stacks when used with the parts and labels module.
 

The destacking optimiser considers station sizes when allocating parts to stations.
