Abstract(s)
The present dissertation was developed to present as a final proof to obtain the master's
degree in the Master's degree in Industrial Engineering and Management, from the Instituto
Superior de Engenharia do Porto and aims to describe the project carried out in this sense,
presenting and analyzing its development and also the results obtained.
The project in question is part of a much more complex project to be developed at INESC
TEC, located in Porto. In this sense, only the initial phase of this project was developed, which aimed
to create an algorithm capable of evaluating the stability of the load present on a pallet.
For this, in the first step was carried out an analysis of a previously provided C++ project,
which aims to best arrange a set of boxes in a container. In this sense, a document was previously
provided with the characteristics of the set of boxes to be arranged in the container, as well as the
characteristics of the container itself. Based on the information given in this document, the best
organization of this set of boxes in the container was then idealized, knowing that not all the boxes
would fit in it and ensuring that the organization idealized is viable in practice, that is that there are
no problems like overlapping of boxes.
After this analysis, the second phase of the project started, in which an algorithm capable
of analyzing the organization defined for the set of boxes arranged inside the container to evaluate
its stability was developed in C++, applying the support polygon concept, that is, assessing whether
the boxes inside the container were stable following the support polygon methodology or not.
Finally, in a third phase, this algorithm was applied and the results obtained were analyzed
to prove its viability, leading to the conclusion that the algorithm effectively identified correctly
when the set of boxes arranged inside the container was stable and when it wasn´t
