Plan optimal container & truck loads: 3D layouts, utilization, centre of gravity, crush checks.
Server tool list (6)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| list_equipment | List the standard container, truck, ULD and pallet types LoadingMCP can plan loads into, with internal dimensions (mm) and max payload (kg). |
| suggest_containers | Given total cargo volume (m³) and weight (kg), suggest how many of which container to use — a quick volume/weight estimate. For an exact, dimension-aware plan with utilization, CoG and securing, use plan_load (which can also auto right-size). |
| plan_load | Compute a 3D load plan for cargo into a container or truck: containers used, utilization (volume & payload %), centre of gravity, crush-protection violations, and a securing checklist (round cargo that rolls, soft cargo that slumps). Cargo `type` drives realism — drums/pipes hex-nest, big bags/sacks load on top and are never crushed. Omit `equipmentCode` to auto right-size to the cheapest container that fits. A real API key runs the production PackingSolver optimizer; the public demo key uses the offline preview packer. |
| export_plan | Export a load as a machine-readable LOADING WORK ORDER: a numbered stuffing sequence (which SKU, where, in what order and orientation), the securing/bracing action list, the key declarable figures (VGM, axle load, centre of gravity), and an optional per-retailer inbound-packaging check (Amazon FBA / Walmart). Feed it to a WES/TMS, a robotic palletiser, or a printable worker sheet. This is decision support to MEET published retailer/carrier specs — verify in your own portal; it is not a retailer certification. |
| import_packing_list | ERP/TMS on-ramp: take a versioned "loadingmcp.packing-list" document (a WMS/ERP export — cargo lines + equipmentCode) and return a load plan + a container manifest. Parsing is fail-explicit: an invalid document returns the exact per-line issues, never a silently-dropped row. Pairs with plan_load's output for a full round-trip. |
| export_dg_paperwork | Draft the dangerous-goods paperwork for a load from its cargo lines: an IMDG 5.4.1 transport-document description per DG line (UN, proper shipping name, class, PG, marine pollutant), the 5.3 placards + marks required, and the 5.4.2 container/vehicle packing-certificate statements. Input is a "loadingmcp.packing-list" document. This is a DRAFT from the curated DGL — it lists the fields a DG-competent person must still complete (flash point, net explosive mass, unverified PSN) and is never signed. |
