Two dimensional nesting is a common problem in industries such as the shipbuilding, automotive, clothing, shoe-making, and furniture industries, in which various parts are cut off from stock or packed in a flat space while minimizing waste or unoccupied space. Nesting is known as an NP-complete problem, which has a solution time proportional to the superpolynomial of the input size. It becomes practically impossible to find an optimal solution using algorithmic methods as the number of shapes to nest increases. Therefore, heuristic methods are commonly used to solve nesting problems. This paper presents an expert system that uses a heuristic search method based on an evaluation function for nesting problems, in which parts and stock are represented by pixels. The system is developed in CLIPS, an expert system shell, and is applied to four different kinds of example problems to verify its applicability in practical problems.

Recent cross-country competition and Chinese steel industry because of the emerging steel industry in Korea is a very difficult situation. Therefore, the steel industry in order to overcome this difficult market environment, the quality, cost competitiveness, enhance customer service levels and enhance international competitiveness through is needed. In this study, the purpose of strengthening the competitiveness of steel companies in order and hit the recovery of raw materials have been developed to optimize the model, developed before and after the results were analyzed. In addition, when applied to other products in order to minimize risk and optimize cutting trial stage of development details of the model is presented in detail. Therefore, the developed model was applied to order the recovery of raw materials hits and significantly improved production planning time has been shortened dramatically. In the present study the contents of other products when properly applied and the competitiveness of companies to improve customer service levels are expected to be helpful.

이 논문은 철근 가공 산업 현장에서 스프레드쉬트에 의해 수작업으로 행하던 절단 작업의 계획 수립을 자동화된 시스템에 의해 최적의 절단 계획을 생성하도록 하는 소프트웨어의 개발을 다룬다. 이를 위하여, 먼저 시스템의 데이터 표현과 최적 문제 풀이를 위한 자동 계획 알고리듬의 설계가 요구된다. 이것은 다중 규격의 1차원 자재 절단 문제를 푸는 것으로, 동적계획법에 근거하여 자재 절단 문제를 재구성하고, 유한 범위의 조합 열에서도 근사 최적의 해를 찾을 수 있는 탐색 기법을 사용한 자재 절단 계획 알고리듬을 사용하였다. 그리고, 자동화된 철근 가공 산업용 소프트웨어는 작업 환경에 맞게 사용이 편리한 그래픽 화면과 사용자 인터페이스가 요구되는데, 공개 소프트웨어를 활용한 GUI 라이브러리 툴킷인 GTK+를 활용하여 이를 구현하였다.
