Coverage planning

Start with destination, tonnage, and unloading constraints.

Logistics depends on material type, route distance, and how the receiving site handles unloading. Planning starts with these variables.

  • Plant gate movement with direct vehicle loading
  • Bulk, loose, and packed handling formats
  • Dispatch windows aligned to site schedules
