In this example is explained how to create and edit horizontal load trucks. This is done following three single steps:

1. Horizontal Bays. The first step is to define the size of the Horizontal Bays. in this example we will create .
2. Horizontal Load Truck Types. In this step we will create a Horizontal Load Truck Type with three axis and ten bays.
3. Trucks. The last step is to fill the individual data of each truck.

Bays Horizontal Load

To access the option click Warehouse tab, then Bays buttom and Horizontal Load tab.

---

Right click and then select New.

---

Then, the Bay Editor window is shown, the different input options are the following:

• Code/ID: enter the unique identifier for the Horizontal Bay.
• Description: enter a description of the Horizontal Bay up to 50 characters
• Pallet Name: enter a Name for the Horizontal Bay.
• Pallet Length: enter the length of the Pallet.
• Pallet Width: enter the width of the Pallet.
• Pallet Height: enter the height of the Pallet.
• Pallet Weight: enter the weight of the Pallet.



In this example write zero on the pallet dimensions so VSO will know that the load goes directly on the floor of the container.


• Pallet Color: a cell that can be clicked to bring up a palette of colors from which to pick the one that will represent the the Pallet.



Then enter the Horizontal Bay Constraints for Length, Width, Height and Weight using values showed on next picture.


• Min Load Dimensions: Use these values to limit the minimum load in this bay.
• Max Load Dimensions: Use these values to limit the maximum load in this bay.
• Max Number of SKUs: Use these values to limit the maximum amount of SKUs in this bay.

Then select All units in mm and kg from the pull down menu and press Save buttom.

The new Horizontal Bay is saved and shown on screen.

Go to Top.

Creating Horizontal Load Truck Types

---

To access the option click Warehouse tab, then Trucks buttom and Truck Types tab.

---

Right click to get the menu and click on New.

---

Then you get the Truck Type editor window with the default values. The different input options are the following:

• Truck Code: enter the unique identifier for the Truck Type.
• Description: enter a description of the Truck Type.
• Load Method: a pull down menu with these options:
  1. Side. Centering the load weight.
  2. Back. For unloading products from the back.
  3. Volume. Filling bigger bays first.
  4. Weight. Filling bays with greater weight capacity first.
  5. Custom. Filling bays in an order specified by user.
  6. Mixed. This is used for those trucks with mobile partition screens, so the bay length is set according to the SKUs size. It is necessary to define pallets with the suitable size.
  Select Back for this example.
• Cabin Color: click on it to bring up a palette of colors from which to pick the one that will represent the cabin. Select orange for this example.
• Bays: a pull down menu to select the amount of bays. Select 1 for the example. When you select a value the Bay Info table is updated with new lines to define each bay individually
• Configuration: a pull down menu to select the axis. Select C2 for the example.
• Bay Info: a table with the bays data:
  1. ID. This is the identification of the bays. The number of the bay and the upper-capital B. When creating.
  2. Pallet. Select one from the list. In this example we use the bays created in step 3.
  3. Row. This is the bay row, ordered from the cabin to the back.
  4. Length. The bay length. This value is the same used in steps 3 to define the max load length.
  5. x (length). Distance from the bay to the cabin.
  6. y (width). Distance from the bay to the right side of the truck. In the example we use the values of Max Load Width from steps 3.
  7. z (height). Distance from the cabin to the bay.
  8. in this example the columns Overflow and Sequence are kept with zeroes and blankets.

  Fill the table with the data shown on the next picture.

  


• Truck Axles: a table with details of each axis. This is very important because VSO uses this information to detect overweight on Axles.
1. Axle. This is the identification of the axle.
2. Wheels. Wheels per Axle.
3. x (length). Distance from the front of the cabin to the axle.
4. y (width). The axle width.
5. z (height). Distance from the cabin to the wheels axis.
6. wt. Weight.
7. Max Weight. Maximum Weight per Axis.

Fill the table with the data shown on the picture.

Once the data is complete press the Save buttom .

Go to Top.
