Technical Documentation: 3D Cargo Planning & Stowage Optimization (ISO/VGM)

SendContainer helps logistics teams plan container and truck loading with a 3D workflow that prioritizes real operational constraints: SKU grouping, stacking limits, and Verified Gross Mass (VGM) compliance.

1. Cargo Configuration & Stowage Logic

Cargo definition (technical data)

Define each shipment item using technical dimensions and physical properties (cartons, drums, rolls, or metal profiles).

Optimization calculation

Instant processing of variables to generate a 3D spatial layout that maximizes useful volume while respecting your constraints.

Intelligent grouping logic

Automatic organization by SKU type to streamline loading and unloading operations for high-volume flows.

2. Loading Restrictions & Palletization Rules

Orientation rules

Control which rotations are permitted to protect fragile goods and items with fixed positional requirements.

Stacking capacity

Set stacking limits based on pressure and cumulative load behavior to prevent damage from weight on lower levels.

Inventory management

Mass-edit tools and unit cloning to accelerate planning for large shipments and repeated patterns.

3. Equipment Parameters & Regulatory Compliance

Intermodal presets

Built-in reference data for ISO container interior dimensions and common equipment: 20’, 40’, High Cube, and reefer configurations—plus compatible terrestrial transport contexts.

Safety & VGM (Verified Gross Mass)

Automatic VGM mass calculation with safety alerts to help you stay within payload limits and stability expectations.

Technical signage

Normative placement of informative labels (center of gravity, ISO references, safety warnings) so dock personnel can execute confidently.

4. Load Audit & Data Export

Interactive 3D viewer

A visual inspection tool to validate space utilization and stability before dispatch.

Operational documentation

Generation of load sheets and reports with detailed position maps for terminal operations.

Information exchange
