Home| Application | RoutePlanner |
| Application Summary | The software groups the
shipping
orders into trailer loads automatically based on a routing table which
is prepared off-line. The scheduler can edit the created trailer loads
by moving orders from one load to another on the routing board. The
overall objective is to maximize trailer cube utilization, and meet the
delivery window. The use of a routing table eliminates a need for
geographical data and works well when the routes are stable, but the
orders size vary. |
