Load efficiently
Introduction of the EasyCargo application with all its new features, competition in stacking cargo in a container, and a sweet reward for the right solvers. You can experience this and much more at our stand no. 22 at the jubilee 10th year of the International Transport & Logistics Trade Fair.
Create load plans for oversized cargo directly in EasyCargo. You heard us correctly! In our load optimization software, it's now possible to create overhangs or reduce cargo space layout only with a few clicks.
A truck or load overhang is a portion of a load or vehicle attachment that projects beyond the front or rear wheels of a vehicle, sides, or the front or rear bumper of a vehicle if it's equipped with a front or rear bumper.
The Expo season is starting and clearly, EasyCargo can't miss it. That's why we are very excited to announce that we will be present at not just one, but two logistics trade shows in Colombia!
On October 4 - 8, 2021, a Virtual Meeting will be held as a preamble to the on-site edition of ANPACT's Expo Transporte 2022 in Puebla, Mexico. Entrepreneurs, micro-entrepreneurs, suppliers, purchasing managers, owners, managers, cargo and passenger carriers, companies with fleets, public and private transportation executives, and of course our software, EasyCargo, will be present.
There are several ways to view the final load plan in EasyCargo, from simply sharing the plan via a link to creating complex print reports. In this article, we will look at all types of load plan results and discuss their functions in more detail.
The most important, and probably the most prominent part of the application, is the interactive 3D view of the load. It’s a simulation in which you can view all the items placed in the trailer or container.
We have already written a lot about planning the load as efficiently as possible. That’s why this article will be a little different. We have prepared for you some practical exercises that will test your knowledge of EasyCargo.
The exercises below, although slightly modified, are part of the handbook for teachers and professors involved in the EasyCargo for schools project. These materials will soon be available for download on our website.
Have you purchased EasyCargo and do not know how to start with load planning? Our tutorial video No. 10 Settings options when optimizing a load plan will help you.
As the name suggests, the video shows options for planning the load from setting up the application to introducing the application’s elements. It guides you through the entire loading process and continuously alerts you to existing videos that describe the features shown in more detail.
You often ask us whether it is possible to set up a gradual loading or unloading of items in EasyCargo if you have several unloadings planned during one transport. The answer is yes. For similar situations, there is a function called Priority Groups. With this function, you can easily create up to 50 groups, which can be useful not only for different destinations but also for adjusting the order in which the items are loaded. The following video shows how to create and use priority groups:
