Plan mixed cargo in 3D

Reduce logistics costs by up to 30%. Check loading constraints and share a clear plan with your team.

Results depend on cargo mix, vehicle type and your current loading process.

Mixed cargo loading plan in CargoTetris

Turn cargo data into a loading plan

  1. 1. Add your shipment

    Import an Excel file or add cargo dimensions, weight and quantity manually.

  2. 2. Check the 3D plan

    Set cargo space and loading constraints. Review placement, weight distribution and loading order.

  3. 3. Share loading instructions

    Export PDF or Excel reports so your team can review and follow the loading plan.

Six tailored implementations. Results reflect each company’s cargo, loading rules and workflow.

  • Electronics
  • Home appliances
100% less damage from incompatible placement
+20% loading efficiency

Challenge

Hisense processes 50–70 truck and container loads per day. Shipment data from multiple distributors arrived in different formats, while every load plan had to follow compatibility rules for different appliance categories. The differences in source data slowed down transport planning and increased the risk of loading errors.

Implementation: 3 months

  • Electronics
  • Home appliances
100% less damage from incompatible placement
+20% loading efficiency

With CargoTetris

CargoTetris was adapted to Hisense's transport planning rules and product compatibility requirements. Shipment data from distributors was converted into a standardized format, and the system was integrated with the company's IT infrastructure. CargoTetris generated load plans according to a single set of rules and transferred the calculation results to connected systems.

Implementation: 3 months

  • Home appliances
  • HVAC
100% less damage from incompatible placement
+12% loading efficiency

Challenge

Midea needed to automate vehicle loading for different appliance categories. Each load plan had to comply with compatibility rules between product groups, prevent damaging combinations and take routing requirements into account.

Implementation: 4 months

  • Home appliances
  • HVAC
100% less damage from incompatible placement
+12% loading efficiency

With CargoTetris

CargoTetris was configured with custom compatibility and placement algorithms for different appliance categories. During calculation, the system excluded prohibited combinations and selected a suitable position for each item. API integration with ERP and WMS automated the exchange of shipment data and load plans. Routing requirements were included when forming each load.

Implementation: 4 months

  • Building materials
  • Order planning
15% less damage from incompatible placement
+6% loading efficiency

Challenge

Saint-Gobain needed to optimize the loading of different construction materials during order formation. Each load had to maintain balanced weight distribution, comply with axle load limits and use available vehicle capacity.

Implementation: 5 months

  • Building materials
  • Order planning
15% less damage from incompatible placement
+6% loading efficiency

With CargoTetris

CargoTetris was configured with loading algorithms for different material categories and integrated into the company's ordering system. As products were added to an order, the system calculated their placement, weight distribution, axle loads and remaining vehicle capacity. Distributors could see which additional products could be included while maintaining a feasible load plan.

Implementation: 5 months

  • Wood-based materials
  • 5 plants
3% less damage from incompatible placement
+20% loading efficiency

Challenge

EGGER needed to synchronize load planning with its weighbridge system. The process had to identify each arriving vehicle, determine its type, dimensions and capacity, assign the correct shipments and apply product-specific loading rules across five plants.

Implementation: 5 months

  • Wood-based materials
  • 5 plants
3% less damage from incompatible placement
+20% loading efficiency

With CargoTetris

CargoTetris was connected to the weighbridge infrastructure through integration gateways. License plate recognition identified arriving vehicles and linked them to planned shipments. Custom loading algorithms accounted for cargo type and weight, while routing logic prioritized loading across five production sites.

Implementation: 5 months

  • Stone wool
  • Insulation
60% less damage from incompatible placement
+15% loading efficiency

Challenge

ROCKWOOL used product-specific loading rules based on the experience of planners at different facilities. The rules had to account for product orientation, density, compressibility, geometry, stacking restrictions and protection from crushing. Distributors also needed access to the same calculation logic when preparing shipments.

Implementation: 5 months

  • Stone wool
  • Insulation
60% less damage from incompatible placement
+15% loading efficiency

With CargoTetris

CargoTetris converted these operational rules into algorithms for each product group. The system calculated lengthwise or crosswise placement, horizontal, on-edge or end positioning, inner diameter, wall thickness and compressibility. Multi-level loading supported pallets placed on pallets and cargo placed above palletized goods. The calculation engine was integrated into the distributor ordering workflow.

Implementation: 5 months

  • Polymer solutions
  • Building products
15% less damage from incompatible placement
+15% loading efficiency

Challenge

REHAU needed to optimize loads containing different construction materials. Each load plan had to prevent uneven weight distribution and axle overload while using available vehicle capacity.

Implementation: 5 months

  • Polymer solutions
  • Building products
15% less damage from incompatible placement
+15% loading efficiency

With CargoTetris

CargoTetris was configured with custom loading algorithms for different material categories and integrated into the company's ordering system. As an order was assembled, the system calculated cargo placement, weight distribution, axle loads and remaining vehicle capacity. Additional products could be included while maintaining a feasible load plan.

Implementation: 5 months

Questions before your first load

What is CargoTetris?

CargoTetris is a smart virtual loading service that helps you accurately plan the placement of pallets and boxes within any of the available types of cargo spaces.

How does the system work?

After logging in, the calculation page will appear on the screen.


Work in the program begins by selecting the cargo space – this could be a vehicle, container, or pallet. You can choose a cargo space from the list or enter its dimensions manually.


Then, add the cargo. You can select cargo from a previously saved list, manually enter the dimensions, or import cargo from a CSV file.


The system will then display the optimal cargo arrangement on the visualization.

Does the system account for axle load when loading cargo?

Yes, the system considers the axle load.
