Abstract
One of the biggest challenges in transportation is to load a transport unit, such as a container, a truck, or a pallet, in a way that minimizes empty space and thus reduces costs. Manual planning is difficult and requires a lot of time. BinPACKER automizes this task subject to several practical constraints, such as load stability, consideration of non-stackable items, and weight distribution requirements. This not only leads to a significant reduction of empty space and transport costs but also considerably reduces manual planning effort.
