Cutting and Packing Problems

[Closed]

Work description

The main objective of the work is the development of Intelligent, Compact and Flexible End of Line Robotic Solutions. The project aims to solve the problem of low volume - high mix production by developing end-of-line robotic solutions that are compact, flexible, portable, and easy to program and configure. In addition, through the products developed, it is intended to implement a business model based on servitization applied to end-of-line activities, namely packaging and palletizing ("Packaging As A Service"), further facilitating technological access to smaller companies. Through the creation of flexible and adaptable robotized solutions offered as a service, National Companies can become more competitive and agile in an increasingly dynamic global market.
