What Was Schneider Electric Looking to Optimize in Their Logistics?
Before adopting EasyCargo load planning software, Schneider Electric faced two major challenges. The first was inefficient use of cargo space. Containers were shipped without utilizing their full volumetric capacity, resulting in unnecessarily high transport costs. In simple terms, the company was paying to transport empty space in every shipment.
Main challenges:
- Maximizing container cubic capacity and volumetric utilization
- Reducing the number of trips and related transport costs
- Minimizing errors caused by manual planning processes
- Speeding up logistics processes to support exports more efficiently
How Did Our Load Planner Help?
The solution came when Schneider Electric learned about EasyCargo through contacts connected to sector training programs, specifically SENA. The key factor behind their decision was EasyCargo’s promise of real effectiveness in cubic capacity calculation and load optimization.
By entering product dimensions, weight, and handling restrictions, the team began generating optimized load plans. The 3D simulation allowed them to visualize the cargo arrangement inside containers before the physical loading process began.
This enabled the team to identify and correct inefficiencies in advance. Active planning with EasyCargo directly resulted in a significant increase in their container fill rate, which translated into a higher volume of goods per shipment and a direct reduction in transport costs.
Key 3D load simulator features used:
- Automatic load optimization: The EasyCargo algorithm calculates the best container distribution and maximizes space utilization.
- Interactive 3D simulation: Our visual preview of the cargo layout simplifies planning and reduces errors.
- Product type and constraint management: EasyCargo is ideal for a wide range of electrical and industrial products.
What Load Optimization Results Were Achieved?
Thanks to the implementation of EasyCargo, Schneider Electric achieved:
- A 20% increase in export container fill rate
- A reduction in manual load planning errors
This represents a clear improvement in logistics efficiency, transforming inefficient manual loading processes into a smooth, reliable, and cost-effective operation.
What Does the Client Say About EasyCargo?
“EasyCargo is an app that helps improve company efficiency thanks to its clear and educational 3D visualization. It is an excellent option for optimizing box stacking. For example, it allows stacking 100 boxes at a maximum level of 3 boxes.”
