PUZZLE enables companies to calculate optimal packing configurations for cartons, pallets by employing a two-step optimization process that first addresses outer packaging and then palletization. Users can select between single-item or mixed-item orders, ensuring maximum material utilization and reduced shipping volume. Through advanced algorithmic analysis, the software evaluates dimensions, weight distribution to generate efficient layouts. This streamlined approach helps firms save costs and resources while improving logistics transparency.
3D Visualization of Optimized Loads with Weight, Stability Checks
The software visualizes optimized loading units within an interactive three-dimensional representation, allowing users to examine every pallet, tray, or box arrangement in detail. It calculates total weight distribution, enforces precise orientation for each packaged item, and optionally performs stability assessments to identify potential tipping or shifting during transit. By integrating structural analysis with real-time rendering, operators obtain full transparency from carton dimensions to pallet assembly, streamlining verification, enhancing load reliability.
PackAssistant leverages 3D-CAD data to optimize container loading efficiency
PackAssistant is designed for industrial clients handling uniform components in mechanical engineering and automotive supply chains. Utilizing detailed 3D CAD models, it automatically computes optimal container loading configurations without manual trial packing. This eliminates time-consuming physical tests and streamlines packaging preparation. By maximizing container utilization and minimizing unused space, the solution significantly reduces transportation expenses, warehouse usage, and handling costs. Integration with existing systems enables rapid deployment and tangible savings.
Early Packaging Concept Definition Accelerates Workflow And Reduces Revisions

By integrating packaging strategy during the design or prototyping phase, engineers can define fixed or flexible inserts, stacking patterns, compartmental layouts, or bulk material simulations before production. This early planning ensures packaging considerations are aligned with product geometry and handling requirements, minimizing uncertainties. As result, project timelines shorten and coordination between design and logistics teams improves. Fewer packaging iterations translate into reduced development cycles, optimized resource usage, and faster time-to-market.
Seamless Packaging Automation with REST APIs and Excel Add-Ins
Both solutions provide REST APIs, Excel add-ins, and JSON interfaces to streamline recurring packaging processes through automation. Users can generate packing instructions automatically, reducing manual effort and errors while improving efficiency. Export of packing plans supports multiple CAD formats including STEP, JT, and VRML as well as Office document types. These outputs can be directly integrated into existing warehouse management and enterprise resource planning systems, ensuring compatibility and faster deployment.
