How can we use heuristic algorithms to find the right strategy to load a maximum number of pallets in a sea container?
Find in the link below a short animated explained video to understand the concept behind this solution
In this Article, we will build a container loading optimization model using a heuristic method from a Python library.
You need to load in a 40' Container
- 20 European Pallets 80 x 120 (cm)
- 4 North American Pallets 100 x 120 (cm)
Results: 20/20 Euro Pallets loaded, 2/4 American pallets loaded. You need another container for the two remaining pallets.
Results: 20/20 Euro Pallets loaded, 4/4 American pallets loaded. You don’t need another container.
This repository code you will find all the code used to explain the concepts presented in the article.
