Packaging material profiling for containment force-based wrapping

摘要

Packaging material (410) may be profiled to generate an incremental containment force per revolution (ICF) attribute that is represented by a function that is variable as a function of wrap force. Moreover, the performance of different packaging materials (410), e.g., in terms of speed or cost, may be compared for a particular load (406) through simulation of wrap operations based upon dimensions of the load (406) and a desired load containment force requirement for the load (406).
