Bin Packing Solution for Automated Packaging Application

This paper introduces the implementation of a new heuristic recursive algorithm for bin packing solution used in automated packaging application. The theoretical method proposed in this paper is successfully implemented on a real ABB robot arm with some important improvements such as added rotation flexibility and removing an added product from the structure. The computational results on a class of benchmark problems have shown that this algorithm not only finds shorter height than the known meta-heuristic ones, but also runs in shorter time. The average running time is very suitable for such kind of automated packaging application.
