Abstract
Mixed palletizing constitutes one of the problems in the logistics domain aroused from the need for fast product movement to satisfy the continuously increasing number of customers with the demand for highly personalized goods. In a demanding environment, such as warehouses, where break bulk and the consolidation of loads take up most of the working time, the automation of mixed palletizing can lead to increased efficiency and speed while keeping errors to a minimum. Space utilization of pallets enables savings in storage and transportation costs, boosting the overall sustainable role of the Supply Chain sector. This paper presents the proposed approaches to mixed palletizing stemming from different fields, with a focus on recent developments in the application of Industry 4.0 technologies. Our research highlights quite a few areas that require attention from researchers.
