A Practical Packing Strategy for the Automated Handling of Irregular Shapes
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper has two distinguishable, but interwoven themes: (i) maximising the use of the context information available from a given task, by the application of a systems engineering approach to the packing problem, and (ii) the development of an adaptive packing strategy for random shapes, using morphological and heuristic techniques. The packing techniques and applications discussed in previous papers provide an important motivation to the development of automated packing systems. They also indicate the best means of progressing the development of flexible packing systems. The characteristics required in a flexible packing system are summarised below:

Automated packing systems: Review of industrial implementations
The problems involved in the automated packing and nesting of irregular shapes are not only of theoretical importance, but have considerable industrial interest. The ability to manipulate objects under visual control is one of the key tasks in the successful implementation of robotic, automated assembly and adaptive material handling systems. Such systems must be capable of dealing with a wide ...

متن کاملConstruction heuristics for two-dimensional irregular shape bin packing with guillotine constraints
The paper examines a new problem in the irregular packing literature that has existed in industry for decades; two-dimensional irregular (convex) bin packing with guillotine constraints. Due to the cutting process of certain materials, cuts are restricted to extend from one edge of the stock-sheet to another, called guillotine cutting. This constraint is common place in glass cutting and is an ...
متن کاملProperty Predictions for Packed Columns Using Random and Distinct Element Digital Packing Algorithms
Existing theories and computer models for packed columns are either incapable of handling complex pellet shapes or based on simplified pellet geometry. A digital packing algorithm, namely DigiPac, has recently been developed to fill the gap. It is capable of packing of particles of any shapes and sizes in a container of arbitrary geometry, and is a first step towards a practical computational t...
