Stack optimization (also dunnage optimization) is a process that helps build logistics units. This places goods in space so that the degree of space utilization is maximized.
Brief description
In order to perform economical stack optimization, certain basic data like weight, dimensions, and packing and quantity units must be known. Based on this information and depending on the complexity of the task, computer-supported processes with solution algorithms can also be used.
The goals of stack optimization include increasing the amount of products per shipping unit (carton, pallet, container, etc.), reducing transportation and packaging costs, increased safety, as well as reducing cargo damage.
