An explanation of the range of functions for MultiMix Container Loading

Intelligent use of the full capacity

With intelligent algorithms and validated loading plans, MultiMix Container Loading increases the efficiency and effectiveness of all your cargo space planning. This planning software answers your questions directly:

  • Will the load fit in the desired load carrier?
  • Can the existing truck/container accommodate additional items?
  • How many and what type of trucks or containers will be needed?
  • What is the optimal distribution onto multiple modes of transport?

The calculation is carried out in accordance with all specifications, for example:

  • Maximum permitted total weight
  • Permissible vertical orientation of the packages
  • Can the packages be stacked
  • Stability of partial loads

A 3D loading plan is created for every container or truck, in partial steps if required. Also, a loading list with weight, ratio of the volume used, and the centre of gravity. When your planning is completed, the loading plans and lists can be shared with partners in the supply chain. This ensures that everyone is informed at an early stage about how the trucks or containers are loaded.

Maximum flexibility – even after calculation

During stowage space optimization, not every practical problem can be solved automatically. For this reason, MultiMix also offers an integrated 3D editor for fine adjustment:

  • Move packages by drag and drop
  • Rotate, delete, insert packages or whole package blocks
  • Fill empty space selectively with additional packages

This intuitive process saves valuable planning time and delivers the loading plan that fits your needs.

Customer reviews about MultiMix Container Loading

What our long term customers say

“We have been working successfully with the MultiMix Truck/Container Loading software for years and are also very satisfied with the support provided by your team.”

Andreas Borchers, Project Engineer Packaging
MAPA GmbH – Newell Brands

“We greatly appreciate the MultiMix truck/container loading system and are very satisfied with it.

We use it to plan container loading from our suppliers in China, which allows us to increase the fill level of the containers and thus make transport costs more cost-effective.

We implemented the solution quickly and are using it for more and more supplier/item combinations. This is particularly important for us as we purchase a mixed product portfolio. The volumes range from large wine refrigerators to vacuum packaging film.

Even well-established loading scenarios were reviewed and, in some cases, increased by as much as 10% (10% more content in the container). This was achieved simply by changing the loading and positioning.”

André Häger, Head of Internal Sales
