Efficient Component Packing with Algorithmic Optimizations

Abstract

This research paper introduces a recursive algorithm that maximizes component placement by optimizing their orientations in each layer. A software utility was developed using this algorithm called Productive Package. This is used to calculate the maximum number of components that can be packed in the box, the utility enhances efficiency and reduces errors compared to manual calculations. This involves system analysis and design methods to optimize the packaging process. The evaluation of Productive Packager demonstrates its accuracy and effectiveness by comparing its output with manual packaging calculations for various box and component sizes. The utility offers time savings, improved accuracy, and customization options, making it a valuable tool for optimizing packaging processes and enhancing transportation efficiency.
