Save more! The magic recipe of EOI's photoelectric tube department to improve the volume ratio of containers



Containers are the main transportation work for enterprises. EOI has many years of experience in the control of container volume ratio. How to improve the container volume ratio, increase the amount of goods that can be loaded, reduce the number of transportations, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions? There are related highlights as:




Change the stacking method without changing any packing materials：
Container Volumes increased by 15%


The original placement order of the container
Three layers on the top and three layers on the bottom


The new placement order of the container
Four layers on the top and three layers on the bottom




    The boundaries of improving the volume ratio of containers include optimization of packaging cartons and changes in stacking methods.
  • Shock range: narrow and cut down the margin space of the product's packaging carton.
  • Adjust the buffer material for the margin space in the packaging carton of the product to increase the quantity of the product in the same packaging box.
  • Changes to stacking to increase the number of packaging cartons (products) carried inside the container.
  • Pallet placement adjustments to accommodate more packaging cartons (products) for fragmented spaces within the container.




Example 1:
Change the stacking method under the operation of packaging material adjustment and operation for each project:
Project A




45pcs/Carton (New Design)




Example 2:
Improvement method: cancel the second layer of pallets and add one more carton on the top; the size of the carton has not changed. A 40-foot container can hold a total of 9072 (A+B+C) products. 1392 more products (A+B) can be held than before, and the maximum utilization rate of containers is increased by 18% (1392/7680=0.18)


A: The rear of the container, 9 layers flat, 4 boxes/layer, 432 products in total
B: The top of the container, the height space is flat with 1 box, a total of 80 boxes, a total of 960 products
C: The original container loading method. 40 stacks, 640 boxes, a total of 7680 pieces
