Again, TOPS Pro has proceeded to the next step in the analysis. We've completed the unitload stage of the analysis; now we're ready to work with the vehicle solutions, which will complete the analysis. Let's briefly outline these three panes: Vehicle Solution View: This pane displays a graphic of a selected truck solution – how the truck load is designed and utilized. Vehicle Statistics View: This pane displays detailed statistics for a selected vehicle solution. Vehicle Solution List: This pane displays a list of all the truck solutions generated for the analysis. In this example, TOPS Pro has generated 20 unitload solutions. 8. Select a vehicle solution. 9. Click on the Save button to save the analysis record. At this point, now that the analysis is complete, you might want to print a hard copy of the information generated for the solution. We'll talk about the printing function in the section, "Design the Output from an Analysis." Make a Decision Using the Quad View As the term suggests, the Quad View divides the Analysis View into four panes as opposed to three. In this exercise, we'll work through the same bottle-tray-carton-pallet-truck analysis using the Quad View. Note: The Quad View is available only for analyses with four or more stages. 34 TOPS User Guide Supplement and Tutorial
To generate the possible solutions for this analysis, using the Quad View, follow these instructions: 1. Click on the Calc button. System Response: TOPS Pro uses the defined parameters – bottle, tray, shipcase, pallet and truck – and generates all possible solutions. TOPS Pro displays the Analysis View with three panes. 2. Go to the Menu Bar and open the View menu. 3. Select Quad Screen. System Response: The Analysis View redisplays with four panes, as pictured below. As you can see, TOPS Pro begins with the first stage in the analysis – the packer stage – and proceeds in order of the Package Design Sequence. Let's briefly outline each of these four panes: Intermediate Pack Solution View: This pane, in the top, left portion of the screen, displays a graphic view of a packer solution. Shipcase Solution View: This pane, in the top, right portion of the screen, displays a graphic view of a shipcase solution. This solution corresponds to the active packer solution. UnitLoad Solution View: This pane, in the bottom, left portion of the screen, displays a graphic view of a unit (pallet) load solution. This solution corresponds to the active shipcase solution.
