Shipping hazards can be automatically estimated based on total package weight predictions and it is no longer necessary to interpret numerous graphs and perform repetitive calculations to design protective cushioning. The software is easy to use and incorporates an extensive database of shock and vibration isolation data for 20 different cushion materials.
