Loading problem optimization

Hello !

As a new member of the KNIME community I was wondering if its possible to execute Multi Container Loading Problem (MCLP) optimization.

Problem could be described as:
Multiple pallets with various dimensions and weights should be loaded to multiple trucks with various capacities -volume and weight.
We would like to maximize both volume and weight utilization of each truck, while we need to minimize the number of trucks utilized.

If I am off topic please guide me where should be posted

Thanks for your time :slight_smile:

Sounds like a excel solver problem for me?

Hello @Daniel_Weikert

Correct, this is an excel solver problem, but the 200 variable limitation is a serious barrier.
