CubeMaster 10.0.0.3

CubeMaster 10.0.0.3 is specially created to be a useful cargo load planning software to optimize the load on your trucks, air & sea containers, pallets and totes. It reduces shipping and transport costs through intelligent loading and optimal space utilization. CubeMaster supports you in planning your order picking, loading and capacity requirements. The system delivers clear instructions regarding the work preparation in seconds and gives you reliable planning.

With this, the personnel resources can be planned effectively, the order picking and loading times minimized and the number of freight cost relevant packaging and transport units reduced. Using CubeMaster, you can: plan loading of trucks, sea and air containers; calculate optimal volume of the shipping and transport; forecast best size of orders; maximize loading space and weight in cube; determine optimal measurement of new products and cartons; build reports on loading and unloading in 3D.

Major Features:

1. Easy to Use and Fully Customizable
   • It's easy. The guiding principals to make CubeMaster are: Quickest To Learn Easiest to Use even without help files. The load planner is meant for front-line people and managers, not the IT department. Don't like or can't afford to spend a lot of time reading help files or tutorials? CubeMaster is the one for you. This also means that as employees come, go, or change positions, there is no significant concern.
   • Easy Excel and CSV import - Worried about how you will get your cargo data into CubeMaster? Use copy and paste to bring in thousands of products at once. (Of course you can just type product data into the cargo list if you like.)
   • Switch on-the-fly between Metric or English systems
   • Switch on-the-fly between English, Chinese Traditional, Japanese, Spanish, Turkish and Korean - Synchronize with your foreign supplier or customer if each has CubeMaster. Just a click will switch between different languages
   • Outlook-style user interface to manage complex order and load plan
   • Document management with the Today window - easy access to the recent load plans
   • Display of the % cube or % weight of your transit vehicle
   • 3D click, drag and drop editor to easily create and visualize load plans
   • 3D color-coded graphical display shows what you are entering into SKU, tote or pallet database as you design it
   • Import all types of databases - ORACLE, MS-SQL, DB2 and XML with built-in query and connection manager
   • Send your load plan by email with attachment automatically
   • Full size on the screen gives good visibility
   • Save preferred settings including vehicle type, dimension, measurement units and language formats as system defaults
   • Custom in-house programming available to incorporate desired functions or system integration using a SDK (Software Development Kit)  
   • Cargo Load Plan and Optimization Software - Powerful and Easy User Interface
   • Powerful and Easy User Interface
   • Cargo Load Plan and Optimization Software - Easy Excel and CSV Import
   • Easy Excel and CSV import
2. Multiple Load Optimizations
   • Vehicle Load Plan - Finds the best combination of multiple vehicle types (eg. 40FT x3 + 20FT x2). It also regards multiple stops and load priorities.
   • Sea Container Load Plan - Optimizes cargo plan with multiple different sizes and quantities or finds the max number of cartons per single container(calculates FCL: Full Container Load).
   • Pallet Configuration and Pattern Optimization - Perfect for creating multiple product load plans for pre-packing unitload. Also calculates single full pallet or mixed pallet loads. These pallet loads can then be used in building container loads.
   • Carton Optimization for Order Picking - Calculates best tote/ship case to fulfill the picking orders with different box sizes and quantities. It also determines optimal load diagramming and picking list.
   • Air Cargo Loading Plan - Calculates the best use of multiple air pallets and containers including LD and ULD type. It also be used to maximizes the space utilization of an air craft.
   • 2-Step Load - Automatically convert case quantities to full-pallet and mixed-pallet loads, before final container loading
   • Cargo Load Plan and Optimization Software - Multiple Load Optimizations
   • Multiple Load Optimizations
3. Various Load Types
   • Single Load - CubeMaster uses proven algorithms to calculate full container and pallet loads of single-size product. It also consider multiple pattern type in a pallet & vehicle.
   • Mix Load - Finds optimal number of vehicles to load all orders of different size cartons. It is perfect to determine the best combination of the different vehicle types to fulfill a delivery orders in a warehouse. It also consider an unitization of the cargos before vehicle loading.
   • Set Load - Calculates best qty of each cargo when several cargos should be kept to compose one product. (eg. Calculates full load of an air conditioner composed of one indoor and two outdoors)
   • Multi-Set Load - Finds optimal number of vehicles to load all orders of different size cartons with regarding multiple destinations and stops.  
   • Cargo Load Plan and Optimization Software - Multiple Cargo Types
   • Multiple Cargo Types
4. Extensive Vehicle and Cargo Types
   • Select from a variety of trailers, sea container, air container, pallets and cartons
   • Multiple cargo types supported - ship case, roll, full single pallet load and mixed pallet load
   • Fill a pallet with ship case and create a pre-pack pallet loads. The pallet loads can be used a new cargo again to fill a vehicles
5. Efficient and Flexible Load Algorithms
   • Priority & max number of each vehicle type
   • Max weight & volume % for each vehicles types
   • Extensive stacking rules - Dead stack and stacking matrix
   • Orientation priority for each cargo
   • Pattern type for each cargo when applied to single load
   • Axle weight calculations help minimize transient damage
   • Calculation the exact location of center of gravity for all loads
   • Loads according to drop off or with same order kept together
   • Max size for cargo placement in vehicle makes easy loads
   • Remove vehicles with poor volume utilization automatically
   • Replacement LCL with smaller vehicles (e.g. 40FT -> 20FT)
   • Define naming rules for vehicle loads (e.g. #3 40FT -> MEX003-40FT)
6. Smart pallet placement algorithm to secure more stable loads  
   • Cargo Load Plan and Optimization Software - Load By Stop Sequence
   • A sample of load sequence
   • Smart Analyzing Tools
   • Simulation Explorer helps you to navigate loading blocks and empty spaces
