In the Load planner you see what a transport looks like once it is full. The loading and unloading simulation also shows how it gets there: step by step in 3D, from the first rack to the check before departure, and on site back off the truck. In the factory loading view, the factory ticks off the same steps while the real loading takes place. Both are part of the Transport & laden (Transport & loading) add-on (€149 per month).
Opening the simulation
- Go to Transport → Beladingsplanner (Load planner) and choose the project and the transport.
- In the header of Belading bekijken (View load), click Laad- en lossimulatie (Loading and unloading simulation).
- At the top, choose Laden (Loading) or Lossen (Unloading). These are two separate sequences.
The simulation uses exactly the positions from the planner. It does not calculate a load of its own and saves nothing. Playing it back never changes the actual loading status.
Loading step by step
For Laden (Loading), Beamcore first puts the rack on the truck, followed by the elements in the saved loading order, with spacers where needed. The last step is Belading controleren (Check the load). That step never turns green, because Beamcore does not check load securing.
- Browse with Vorige stap (Previous step) and Volgende stap (Next step), or use Afspelen (Play), Pauzeren (Pause), Opnieuw beginnen (Restart), Snelheid (Speed) and Stapnummer (Step number).
- Look with Boven (Top), Zij (Side) and Voor (Front), reset the view with Passend (Fit) and use Inzoomen (Zoom in), Transportbok isoleren (Isolate transport rack) and Volledig scherm (Full screen).
- On the right you see the step, the element, the status, the action, the points of attention and the next step. Under Meer over deze stap (More about this step) you find the production status and the actual status.
Each step gets a status: Plaatsing klopt binnen de bekende maten (Placement is correct within the known dimensions), Aanvullende controle nodig (Additional check needed) or Ongeldig of kritieke blokkade (Invalid or critical blockage). Green therefore only says something about the dimensions you entered. As long as the transport is not final, you change the order on the same rack with Eerder laden (Load earlier) and Later laden (Load later).
Unloading on site
For Lossen (Unloading) you see the order in which the elements come off the truck. If the element that is assembled first is still blocked, the element in the way shows Extra loshandeling noodzakelijk (Extra unloading handling required). Under Loshandelingen (Unloading handlings) you see how many elements are Direct bereikbaar (Directly accessible) and how many need Tijdelijk verplaatsen (Temporary moving), Extra hijsbewegingen (Extra lifts) or Tijdelijke opslag (Temporary storage).
The movement on screen is not a lifting route. Crane reach, lifting points and obstacles are not in Beamcore. Under Meer acties → Hijsgegevens (More actions, Lifting data) you enter them yourself and sign off with Hijsroute gecontroleerd (Lifting route checked). Beamcore does not verify this. Meer acties (More actions) also holds Laadlijst (PDF) (Loading list): the load report with a 3D overview, the loading steps and the check overview.
The factory loading view
With Fabrieksweergave (Factory view), from the simulation or the Loading page, you open one loading step at a time, large on screen and with big buttons for the tablet.
- Browse to the step you are about to load. Browsing and rotating in 3D never save anything.
- Once the element is on the truck, click Uitgevoerd (Done). The element is then recorded as loaded, with your name and the time.
- Then click Gecontroleerd (Checked), or reverse the report with Ongedaan maken (Undo).
You can only tick off steps once the transport is final, and no longer after loading has been confirmed. A step with a critical blockage cannot be reported as done. A rack, a spacer or the check step is not ticked off separately. For each element you see the actual status: Gepland (Planned), Klaar voor laden (Ready for loading), Geladen (Loaded), Gecontroleerd (Checked) or Afgeleverd (Delivered).
