The soft- ware works by arranging mixed- size products in trailers, containers and railcars. Shippers can there- fore determine, in advance, if all the cargo in a shipment will fit in the planning vehicle, how much space to allot, and how many vehicles will be required for the shipment. This information can be used to select equipment, manage shipping costs and increase customer satisfaction due to accurate planning. In calculating load plans, TransLoad takes into account user- specified stacking and height restrictions, case orientation, inbound/outbound stop ordering and palletizing requirements. The software produces 3-D, color coded diagrams that demonstrate how cargo should be loaded for optimum results. TransLoad can reportedly be used as a standalone unit or in conjunc- tion with existing routing or order entry systems. It runs under Windows, Win95 or Windows NT on individual or networked PC work- stations. According to Ken Stevenson, president of TransPack, "We developed TransLoad in response to a market September, 1996 need. Private and common carriers alike are looking for an easy-to-use load planning system that inte- grates package specifications, pal- letizing and load planning."

(TraPac), a U.S. marine ter- minal company, has installed an AS/400 Wireless LAN solution at its Port of Seattle terminal in order to increase the speed of cargo loading and unloading. With the IBM solu- tion, TraPac personnel can load and discharge ships' containers, track- ing the movement of inventory to the yard with use of the Yard Processing Package, which runs on laptop computers aboard mobile vans. The vans move to the location of container loading, so that drivers can capture up-to-the-second infor- mation regarding what cargo is being stored where. This data is entered into the Yard Processing Package, transmitted wirelessly to one of eight stationary access points in the yard, and forwarded to the ransLoad software displays 3-D, color coded diagrams that show exactly how cargo shoold be loaded in a railer, container or rail car for optimal efficiency. « Edit Preferences lables toad X£ndtw Help m m m nIOZO nl 030 1)1040 n1050 0 8 1/2" plates 12 8 Rash Assembly 02 29 1 Reflector 553a 5E E Cable group 08a tide code: 'an m count - 422 It load count -12 tal case count -658 irgo cube - 2945.8 tf irgo weight - 24849 lb ibic efficiency -90% nused length -1 in Circle 315 on Reader Service Card Circle 393 on Reader Service Card im .JfiJxJ g
