Automatic Palletizing of Concrete Pavement Blocks: An Algorithm for Near‐Optimal Assembly
Palletizing concrete pavement blocks is a labor‐intensive task that requires high levels of workmanship, skill, and concentration. This article proposes an automatic system in which palettes with required design patterns are assembled automatically off‐site and then shipped to the construction site. The efficiency of the assembly process can be improved by incorporating automatic equipment consisting of assembly heads and feeders. An algorithm was developed to determine the optimal layout of the feeders (of different blocks) around the palette and the exact assembly sequence of each layer of blocks. Experimental results show that the algorithm is near optimal and that the solutions provided by it reduce palletizing cycle time for various patterns and sizes of concrete block by 20 to 30 percent.
