Soberan 3D load planning workspace used to visualize freight within a cargo boundary
The configured vehicle boundary and package-level policies form the basis of the visual load plan.

Soberan applies the same inspectable planning workflow to container loading: select freight, evaluate placements against a configured boundary, review the 3D result, resolve exceptions, and approve the plan.

01

Container utilization needs constraint-aware planning

A high theoretical fill rate does not help if the arrangement violates package handling rules or cannot be reviewed before stuffing.

Mixed package geometry

Different footprints and heights create placement choices that are difficult to validate in a spreadsheet.

Support and orientation limits

A package may fit dimensionally while still lacking base support or requiring an allowed orientation.

Exceptions discovered too late

Unpacked freight must be visible before the container plan reaches the execution team.

02

A reviewable container planning sequence

Treat the container plan as an operational record with inputs, rules, review, and approval.

  1. 01

    Define the load set

    Select the shipments and packages included in the container plan.

  2. 02

    Apply the boundary

    Use the dimensions and capacity of the configured load space.

  3. 03

    Evaluate placement

    Run the recommendation using package and policy constraints.

  4. 04

    Review and approve

    Inspect the 3D arrangement, handle unpacked exceptions, and release the plan.

03

Container planning controls

01

Usable dimensions

Packages are evaluated within the configured cargo boundary.

02

Weight visibility

Payload remains visible alongside space utilization.

03

Orientation rules

Allowed package orientations are considered during placement.

04

Support and clearance

Minimum support and boundary clearance can be part of the planning policy.

04

What improves

  • A visual plan before container stuffing begins
  • Explicit handling of freight that remains unpacked
  • Consistent use of package orientation and support rules
  • A documented approval path for the final arrangement

05

Where it fits

Export operations

Prepare reviewable plans for mixed outbound freight.

Distribution teams

Coordinate package and pallet loads across repeat container configurations.

Warehouse supervisors

Validate the arrangement before the stuffing process starts.

07

Frequently asked questions

Can Soberan plan cartons and pallets together?

The workspace plans package records with their own dimensions and constraints. The exact mix depends on the operational data configured for the planning run.

Does the system show unused space?

The 3D boundary and volume-used metric make the relationship between the arranged freight and the configured load space visible.

Can container rules be reviewed before approval?

Yes. Orientation, support, clearance, evaluation order, and plan metrics are presented in the review workspace.
