There are occasions in which you would like to export the box placement data from Quick Pallet Maker to an automatic/robotic palletizer or other machine/software. For this, QPM produces a list of the box X,Y,Z coordinates and the box orientation in a comma-delimited text file.

The starting point is the Available Solutions window. Select the first pallet.

NOTE: if you don't know how to get to this point, please visit: Rectangular Packages into Pallets.

Go to File > Export > Pallet > Box Coordinates, save the file.

• The first column contains the box number, starting from zero.
• The next three columns contain the X, Y, Z coordinates of the bottom-top-left box corner.
• The fifth column contains the box orientation (explained below).
• The last four columns are custom columns.

The white boxes show the different available orientations in Quick Pallet Maker.
