- Otimização Inteligente na Gestão de Armazéns: Aplicação de Machine Learning para Previsão de Quantidades e Alocação EficientePublication . FRANCO, ÁLVARO JOSÉ FERNANDES; Faria, Luiz Felipe Rocha deThis thesis proposes an integrated artificial intelligence framework to optimize warehouse operations through two complementary tasks: forecasting daily product outflows and solving the 3D Bin Packing Problem for space-efficient storage allocation. In the first stage, machine learning techniques are applied to historical warehouse movement data to predict the total quantity of products expected to be transferred each day. In the second stage, the predicted volumes are packed into constrained three-dimensional storage bins using reinforcement learning-based methods. A custom OpenAI Gym environment is developed to simulate realistic packing conditions, including box rotation, collision detection, stacking constraints, and compactness rewards. The agent learns packing strategies through interaction with the environment and is evaluated against traditional heuristic baselines. The main contributions of this work include the development of a reinforcement learning– based environment, carefully designed reward functions that encourage efficient packing behavior, and the integration of product forecasting with spatial decision-making. Together, these elements form a complete pipeline that turns historical warehouse data into smart, automated decisions for daily storage planning.
