This allows you to find the min number of vehicles needed to load different cargo types with different order quantities.

MixLoad

    1

This is for finding the maximum number of single set-type cargo in single container. Set-type cargo is a product composed of several component cargoes with each set ratio. Imagine the air conditioner that is composed of the outdoor and indoor unit. If certain model of air conditioner has 2 indoors and 1 outdoor, the indoor unit should be loaded 2 times outdoors into the vehicle when shipping this model.

SetLoadByQuantity

3

It finds the number of loads of single cargo type when it placed in a single vehicle as much as possible. In case of loading one type of cargo into one container (or pallet), you can calculate the maximum number of the cargo type, which minimizes the wasted space in the vehicle.

UnitLoad

4

This is for finding the minimum number of the containers into which all of more than 2 types of SET cargoes could be loaded. Or it may be possible to mix-load at least 1 type of SET cargo and at least 1 type of SET cargo.

Unlike the Set Load, this Load will needs as input value the number of each cargo and show as output value the number of the containers into which all of these cargoes will be packed.

And to identify more than 2 types of SET cargoes, you should use the Group Name. In others words, you should make a group out of the same SET cargo with the same group name.

In case of mix-loading more than 2 types of SET cargoes such as air conditioner and audio set, this Load will be useful to find the number of the containers into which all of these cargoes could be packed. Or in case that you want to know the number of the containers into which 1 type of Audio set (SET cargo) and 2 types of Refrigerators(non-SET cargo) should be packed.

What you should keep in mind is that the SET ratio must be the same with the ratio of the number of each cargo as part of one SET cargo. For example, if the SET ratio is 1:3:2, the ratio of each number should be 100:300:200. Otherwise you should not expect an exact result of the Load.
