Integrating rule-based modelling and constraint programming for solving industrial packing problems
Packing items in bins is an old but nevertheless challenging combinatorial problem with numerous
applications in industry. We report on an original approach based on constraint programming and
rule-based modelling, which has been investigated in the framework of the FP6 ‘specific targeted
research project’ Net-WMS (Towards integrating virtual reality and optimization techniques in a new
generation of Networked businesses in Warehouse Management Systems under constraints). It has
applications in the automotive industry
