چکیده

The three-dimensional bin packing problem is a practical problem faced in modern industrial processes such as container ship loading, pallet loading, plane cargo management, and warehouse management. This article considers a three-dimensional bin packing problem in which objects of various volumes are packed into a single bin to maximize the number of objects packed. The bin packing problem initially appears fairly simple; however, scholars have found its behavior rather complex. The formulated packing strategy seeks to minimize the number of cuboid spaces generated during the packing process by matching the object’s height, length, or width with the dimensions of the packing space. A hybrid genetic algorithm was used to solve the three-dimensional bin packing problem with this packing strategy. The results under the proposed algorithm were compared to various sets of computational results found in academic papers related to this subject. 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Extending Two-Dimensional Bin Packing Problem: Consideration of Priority for Items

In this paper a two-dimensional non-oriented guillotine bin packing problem is studied when items have different priorities. Our objective is to maximize the total profit which is total revenues minus costs of used bins and wasted area. A genetic algorithm is developed to solve this problem where a new coding scheme is introduced. To evaluate the performance of the proposed GA, first an upper b...

A new metaheuristic genetic-based placement algorithm for 2D strip packing

Given a container of fixed width, infinite height and a set of rectangular block, the 2D-strip packing problem consists of orthogonally placing all the rectangles such that the height is minimized. The position is subject to confinement of no overlapping of blocks. The problem is a complex NP-hard combinatorial optimization, thus a heuristic based on genetic algorithm is proposed to solve it. I...
