  • Identifying potential modifications of a shipping item design
    Publication number: 20070136150
    Abstract: Systems and methods of identifying potential modifications of a shipping item design are described. In one aspect, a first number of homogeneous copies of the shipping item in a first design state that fit on a specified shipping pallet is identified. One or more modifications of the shipping item's design are computed. The computed modifications transform the first design state into a second design state of the shipping item homogeneous copies of which fit on the specified shipping pallet in a second number greater than the first number.
