# Space-Saving Shipping Software This Software Boosts the Car Rack Capacity Of Shipping Containers By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2016-08-26 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shipping-software References: [newatlas](http://newatlas.com/car-racking-software/45104/) & [www2.warwick.ac.uk](http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/newsandevents/news/clever_car_racking/) The Warwick Manufacturing Group, a department within the [University of Warwick](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/esi-next-gen) that is dedicated to developing research and solutions in the fields of manufacturing technology, has developed an innovative new shipping software program that is designed to increase the capacity of shipping containers transporting cars. Designed to be used in conjunction with the R-Rak shipping equipment manufactured by Trans-Rak International, this shipping software allows users to enter information about the vehicles that they want to ship, including model and make data. The program them uses simulation algorithms to calculate how best to maximize the number of cars that can be stored on [shipping racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nokhu-rack). This shipping software ultimately helps to boost the capacity of shipping containers delivering vehicles, without necessitating the building of larger ships. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Science](https://www.trendhunter.com/science) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Simulation-algorithms Optimization:** Using simulation algorithms to optimize the storage capacity of shipping containers for cars. - **Space-efficient Shipping Solutions:** Developing innovative software programs to increase the capacity of shipping containers through space-saving techniques. - **Enhanced Vehicle Transportation:** Leveraging technology to improve the efficiency of shipping cars in containers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive Manufacturing:** Applying software solutions to enhance the transportation logistics in the automotive industry. - **Shipping and Logistics:** Innovating in the field of shipping and logistics to improve container space utilization. - **Software Development:** Creating and implementing software programs that optimize shipping container capacities in various industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Efficiency-Driven Beverage Shipping Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tray-pods.md) - [Robotic Warehouse Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phl-group.md) - [Efficient Shipping Container Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boxhub.md) - [Rollable Rooftop Cargo Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rooftop-cargo-rack.md) - [Gear-Organizing Truck Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartcap-modular-truck-topper-system.md) - [Stable Temperature-Maintaining Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invensify.md) - [Efficiency-Focused Fulfillment Operation Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fulfillment-operation.md) - [Cost-Effective Shipping Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/costeffective-shipping.md) - [Modular Vehicle Organization Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nokhu-rack.md)
