| Handling unit dimensions, example CThis example describes the dimensions of handling units within a
handling unit structure in which the parent has no packaging item, and the
children have different packaging items. For parent handling unit HU00D, no packaging item is defined.
Handling unit HU00D has 10 child handling units. Five child handling units have
a user-defined internal packaging item of type Box A, and the other child
handling units have user-defined internal packaging item Box B. The dimensions of the packaging items are as
follows: Dimensions | Box A | Box B |
---|
Width | 0.1 m | 0.25 m | Length | 0.25 m | 0.5 m | Height | 0.05 m | 0.2 m | Floor Space | 0.025 m2 | 0.125
m2 | Volume | 0.00125 m3 | 0.025 m3 |
In such cases, the dimensions are calculated as
follows: Width The aggregated width of the internal packaging item with the
largest width. In this example, Box B has a larger width, therefore, the
aggregated width of Box B, 5 * 0.25 = 1.25, is taken as the width for the
parent. Length For the parent, the depth value of each type of internal
packaging item allocated to the children is added. If the depth of internal
packaging item Box A is 0.25 and the depth of internal packaging item Box B is
0.5, for the parent handling unit the aggregated depth value is 0.75. Height For the parent, the height of the packaging item with the
greatest height is taken as the height for the parent. If the height of
internal packaging item Box A is 0.05 and the height of internal packaging item
Box B is 0.2, the height for the parent is 0.2. Floor Space The aggregated floor space of each type of internal packaging
item of the child handling units is taken as the floor space for the parent. In
the example, the floor space for the parent is (5 * 0.025) + (5 * 0.125) = 0.75
m2. Volume The aggregated volume of the packaging items of the child
handling units is taken as the volume for the parent. In the example, the
volume for the parent is (5 * 0.00125) + (5 * 0.025) = 0.13125 m3. Weight The net weight is the aggregated weight of the items contained
in the handling unit, and the gross weight is the aggregated weight of the
items contained in the handling unit added with the aggregated weight of all
packaging items present in the handling unit structure.
