Random-Key Optimization for 2D Irregular Packing with Reusable Area Evaluation
The diverse constraints of industrial applications lead to variants of 2D irregular packing problems that require tailored solution methods. This paper addresses a real-world industrial challenge by proposing a new problem definition, the Maximum Reusable Contiguous Area Problem (MRCAP), and a novel metric, the Maximum Contiguous Area, developed to measure and maximize the contiguous unused … Read more
