Handling unit dimensions, example B
This example describes the dimensions of handling units within a handling unit structure in which the parent has no packaging item, and the children have various internal packaging items.
Parent handling unit HU00C has no packaging item. Handling unit HU00C has 12 child handling units, each of which has a user-defined internal packaging item of type Box.
The dimensions of the packaging items are as follows:
| Dimensions | Box | Box A | Box B |
|---|---|---|---|
| Width | 0.2 m | 0.1 m | 0.25 m |
| Length | 0.5 m | 0.25 m | 0.5 m |
| Height | 0.1 m | 0.05 m | 0.2 m |
| Floor Space | 0.1 m2 | 0.025 m2 | 0.125 m2 |
| Volume | 0.01 m3 | 0.00125 m3 | 0.025 m3 |
In such cases, the dimensions are calculated as follows:
Width
For the parent, the aggregated width of the internal packaging items of the child handling units is calculated. The type of packaging item of the child handling units is Box, therefore the aggregated width of the packaging items of the child handling units is 12 * 0.2 m = 2.4 m2.Length
For the parent, the depth value of the internal packaging item of an individual child handling unit is taken as the depth value. The depth value of internal packaging item Box is 0.5 m. Therefore, the depth value for the parent will be 0.5 m.Height
For the parent, the height value of the internal packaging item of an individual child handling unit is taken as the height value. The height value of internal packaging item Box is 0.1 m. Therefore, the height value for the parent will be 0.1 m.Floor Space
The aggregated floor space of the child handling units is taken as the floor space for the parent. In the example, the handling unit has 12 child handling units, therefore, the floor space for the parent is 12 * 0.1 m2 = 1.2 m2.Volume
The aggregated volume of the child handling units is taken as the volume for the parent. In the example, the handling unit has 12 child handling units, therefore, the volume for the parent is 12 * 0.01 m3 = 0.12 m3.
