Give-away and packing control
Stop giving fruit away: the optimal box per lot, with minimum overweight.
What hurts today
Every box's overweight gets given away with nobody adding it up: some packing plants report on the order of 10,000 kg given away every month from a suboptimal caliber mix.
That overweight doesn't register as lost money until it's quantified: it can run around USD 20,000 a month, a figure nobody reconciles against the margin today.
Added up over a season, fruit given away to packaging can reach tens of thousands of kilos a year — figures on the order of 50,000 kg reported at some plants.
Building the box depends on the operator's eye and a "just in case" safety margin: a decimal that slips on the scale is money given away every day, not a minor error.
What the module does
- Combinatorial optimizer (Meet-in-the-Middle and Inception with pruning and lookahead) that picks, from the available fruit, the exact subset closest to the box target weight; on Inception you can also cap the box's total weight.
- Live, box-by-box simulation with a decision panel showing which units went in and swap alternatives to cut overweight even further.
- Upload your own weighing data (a file with id and weight, from 5 to 50,000 units) or generate a synthetic sample matching the chosen caliber's typical distribution.
- Save lots to your organization (shared across users) or just to your device, and re-run them whenever you want.
- Results panel with average, minimum and maximum give-away, packing efficiency and per-box overweight distribution, exportable to CSV.
You don't need to switch systems to start
It doesn't matter what you use today to track this: if it exports to Excel or CSV, it's in. The Import module — included with your account at no extra cost — uses AI to map your spreadsheet's columns to the right fields, no matter their order, name or language.
Using another system with an API or data export (ERP, HR, BI)? We'll evaluate connecting it directly during your pilot.
