Comparative analysis of loose carton loading and palletized loading methods in logistics processes in road transport

Summary/Abstract: The objective of this paper is to conduct a comparative analysis of loose carton loading and palletized loading methods in logistics processes. The study discusses the characteristics of both methods, taking into account loading and unloading time, utilization of cargo space, operational costs, the impact on storage methods and efficiency, as well as effects on the supply chain, including flexibility in planning and order execution. Environmental aspects and cargo safety are also considered. Furthermore, the paper examines scenarios in which each solution is justifiably applied, along with opportunities for innovative improvements in loading processes in the context of automation and robotics. The research methodology includes a literature review and a survey conducted among experts from the transport and logistics industry. The survey provided practical insights regarding work organization, cargo safety, operational risk, the impact on warehousing processes, and the potential for the automation of logistics operations. The results indicate that palletized loading supports a higher degree of automation, enhances cargo safety, and offers greater flexibility in transport organization. In contrast, loose loading allows for more efficient use of cargo space and reduces unit costs under specific conditions. The conclusions emphasize the need for an individualized approach to selecting the loading method, depending on specifics of the transport, operational priorities, and available technologies.
