TI/HI Calculator Single SKU

📦 How the Single SKU Pallet Optimizer Works

Palletization looks simple on the surface, but in real warehouses it is influenced by case dimensions, pallet size, height limits, and weight restrictions. This tool is designed to remove guesswork and help you quickly calculate the most efficient TI × HI configuration for a single SKU.

Let’s understand how this pallet optimizer works and what makes it reliable.

🔹 Step 1: Understanding the Inputs

You start by entering:

• Case dimensions (Length, Width, Height)
• Maximum pallet weight
• Case weight
• Pallet size (Length & Width)
• Maximum pallet height

These are the same parameters used in actual warehouse pallet planning.

🔹 Step 2: Intelligent Orientation Evaluation

A single carton can be placed on a pallet in multiple orientations.
Instead of assuming just one placement, this tool automatically evaluates all possible orientations of the case.

This ensures:

• No efficient layout is missed
• The best possible configuration is always considered
• The tool adapts to tall, flat, or long cartons

🔹 Step 3: Smart TI (Cases Per Layer) Calculation

For each orientation, the calculator:

1. Fits cartons in a standard grid on the pallet
2. Attempts to place additional cartons by rotating them into leftover areas
3. Checks remaining pallet space

This mixed-orientation logic allows the tool to:

• Use pallet surface area more effectively
• Reflect real warehouse stacking practices 
• Avoid underutilized pallet space

The result is a realistic and optimized TI value, not a theoretical one.

🔹 Step 4: HI (Layer Count) with Height Control

Once the best TI is found, the tool calculates:

• How many layers can fit under the
