| Global epidemic of the world becomes smaller and smaller products, more and more the tray. So now that pallets are frequently used in the process of domestic and international shipping at what kind of situation? Tray on the future development prospects? To answer these questions, "modernization" magazine interview with Philadelphia's Virginia Tech Center for Unit Load Design Director Marshal S. Mr. White. Mr. White is the International Organization for Standardization (1SO) TC51 Committee on International Pallet Standards and Technology and head of the U.S. delegation ASME MH1 pallet and container standards committee. Q: all over the world use a wide variety of pallet sizes and how to maximize the effectiveness of the tray? A: First. IS0 T051 Committee in accordance with frequently used areas around the world developed a 6 pallet pallet size on international standards (1S0 6780). 4 of them is the metric standard. There is a 2 inch standard. Including the standard pallet sizes used in Asia for the 11O0 X 11OO mm; American use of the standard pallet size: 48 X 40 inch and 42X 42 inches; standard pallet sizes used in Europe for the 1200 X 800 mm, 1200 X 1000mm and 1140 X 114O mm. In the United States, about one-third of the market using the 48 X 40 inch tray, and use another standard size pallet 6% less than the U.S. market. In short. Pallet size used in the United States more than a few hundred. But once the global shipping, the state would have to reconfigure the standard pallet in order to meet the overseas transport this is bound to increase consumer costs. Q: So how international trade can overcome the problem of inconsistent pallet size? A: The northern part of North America and Asia, especially the rapid development of trade in international trade plays an important role. Pallet size used in the region for the 11O0 X 11OOmm and we use 48 X 40 Ó¢´ç tray completely different. We are Virginia Tech Transportation Institute and Korea has just completed a joint study. And decided to use the most cautious approach between North America and Asia in the northern region of the pallet transport use. In the course of trade. In terms of import and export business is the most economical way: exporters use the standard size pallet shipping recipient. Follow this principle. Exporters in the northern region of Asia should be 48 X 4O-inch pallets shipped to us. And we should pallet with 11O0 X 11OOmm shipped to them. So. To improve work efficiency since. Recipient of the transport equipment just for the purchase of pallet sizes. And that also meet the transport pallet container requirements. In short, whether 48 X40 inches or 11O0 X 11O0 mm can effectively adapt to the same container. In comparison, 11O0 X 11OO mm pallet shipping slightly higher efficiency. North American standard European standard tray tray tray Asian standards 48 x 40 Ó¢´ç 1200 x 800mm 11O0 x 11OOmm 42 x 42 Ó¢´ç 1200x1000 mm and 1140xl14Omm Q: What aspects of the industry leading position in the unified use of the tray? What size to use is the tray? A: The electronics industry and chemical industry most affected by the pallet transport tray so the standardization process in the realization of these industries play a leading role. One third of the market, the United States to use 48 X 40 inch standard tray. Another application of a standard pallet market for less than 6%. To 48 X 40 inch standard tray, for example, if converted to metric sizes, should be 1219 X 1016 mm 1200 X 1000mm than the European standard tray slightly larger. So 1200 X 1000 mm pallet is the most suitable for 48 X 40 inch standard system. I think our standards should be closer to the direction of the nearest metric, the electronics industry is also moving in that direction. Q: Recently, the global implementation of plant quarantine regulations (ISPM 15), called for the import and export of all wood used in packaging materials. If the traditional use of wooden pallets. The need for processing before export. Better in the international arena in order to control and prevent the spread of plant pests and diseases. This regulation of the use of wooden pallets impact? A: I think little effect. Some of the real man-made wooden pallets can be a wood, plastic or cardboard tray instead. Some of these trays which have been applied in some large exporters. The problem is that Customs inspectors and the world how to train them. As a new test, a process so that all customs inspectors and gradually achieve the level of compliance the only way to make them know what is standard and what is not up to standard. During this time, some trays products must pass quarantine. I think this is a temporary phenomenon as everyone lSPM 15 Control Ordinance, it used to be easier. Currently, the U.S. more than 90% of the domestic pallet market wood pallet manufacturing use. There are people like cardboard and plastic trays are the unique properties so they are also using this type of tray. But for the purposes of these regulations will not affect a large number of wooden pallets is to use. Q: Do you think the future design of the tray will change? A: I have found a major shift: the focus shifted from the design of the tray unit load design. When you calculate the number of pallets shipped today, the goods have been shipped into the number of your unit today, loads of cargo. Here, we have started from a concept into the design of the tray to the unit load design. This means that the design of packaging and pallets are combined together to consider, together with stabilizers to further improve efficiency. In order to make the whole supply chain efficiency revolutionary change. We have from a component-based design to systems-based design. There are three interactive factors: the unit load transport equipment (such as conveyor belts and forklifts.) Pallets and packaging products. Today's supply chain designed in a manner as planned. Equipment from the plant design. Only reduce the price to get the contract. The case of pallets and packaging is the same. End-user may try to tie them together. Unfortunately, this approach is not satisfactory with the result, the user will inevitably pay for this system, a considerable price. We can find a way how these three factors play a warehousing and transport mechanical interaction. Audit through the supply chain and the load information collected from the analysis we can identify packaging restrictions. Then, we can transform device. Effectively reduce packaging costs. Improve transport efficiency. Q: How do the system-based design to achieve the global level through the transformation? A: The seminars organized by ISO to the global level because the organization responsible for the management of packaging, pallets and transport standardization. Until now, they are still not consistent. For example, lSO packaging standards in the metric system, the transport container size is still used by British. Therefore, ISO organization has agreed to work together with these technical committees together to coordinate their standards. But there are still some limitations. To change the dimensions of container transport and use is difficult, because the lock body to match their needs. However, the size of the container interior can be changed. So we are looking forward to shipping containers converted to metric dimensions. This is the next upcoming events. We need to convene an international conference to bring together the world's leading experts in the supply chain to discuss the system-based design. How in the world to coordinate our work within the scope and improve the transport efficiency of consumer goods and industrial products. In energy and resource conservation has tremendous potential for development. | |
