RPA Architecture and development for logistic
By using Automation Anywhere and a custom made Python engine, we developed a architecture and system for one of the biggest logistics companies in Brazil. That system was responsible for:
- Optimizing their stock usage
- By utilizing Machine Learning, predict if the client would enter new requests in a suitable time
- Bin Packing problem
Challenges
The biggest challenge here was to work with little time to develop, and to meet the client expectation. That was possible only by having the correct tools at hand, correct team, and a nice infrastructure to deal with.
A very nice challenge we had here was to deal with a version of the Bin Packing problem. As a mathematics enthusiast, we were able to provide a viable solution in two different forms:
- Via custom made algorithm, that iterated through their stock and kept removing unfeasible solutions
- Via Genetic Algorithm to optimize the order and in what cart would go each specific pallet
