On the Stability of Pallet Loading Layouts

The packing layout for loading boxes of identical format on a pallet can be determined algorithmically. This is important when performing automated packing by a robot. The well-known four-block heuristics and G4heuristics produce very efficient loading patters in most practical cases. In addition to the number of boxes on the pallet, one has to maximize the stability of the loading. This paper ...

Optimization for Service Routes of Pallet Service Center Based on the Pallet Pool Mode

Service routes optimization (SRO) of pallet service center should meet customers' demand firstly and then, through the reasonable method of lines organization, realize the shortest path of vehicle driving. The routes optimization of pallet service center is similar to the distribution problems of vehicle routing problem (VRP) and Chinese postman problem (CPP), but it has its own characteristics...

Optimisation of BMW Group Standardised Load Units via the Pallet Loading Problem

The BMW Group uses load units for the transportation of assembly parts from the suppliers to the plants and for the internal material flow. This thesis analyses the advantageousness of introducing a load unit with a new size. There are three reasons why the current choice of containers is not sufficient. Firstly, there is a certain range of assembly parts that does not fit very well into the ex...

Hardwood pallet cant quality and pallet part yields

Raw materials are the largest cost component in pallet manufhcturing. The primary raw material used to produce pallet parts are pallet cants. Therefore, pallet cant quality directly impacts pallet part processing and material costs. By knowing the quality of the cants being processed, pallet manufacturers can predict these costs and improve manufacturing efficiency. The purpose of this study wa...
