Abstract

This paper describes the effectiveness of a three-dimensional palletizing heuristic developed by the authors. It is shown that more boxes per unit time can be loaded with multi-pallet packing through reduction of non-productive movements of the robot to and from box storage areas. The use of the developed heuristic has been evaluated using a minature robotic palletizing cell. © 1994 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
