Abstract
In warehousing, products are collected from suppliers by incoming trucks and then transported to customers by outgoing trucks by unloading the load simultaneously. In case of accident, the timing of trucks plays an important role in the simultaneous loading unloading system. In this study, a case of simultaneous unloading in random conditions has been investigated in which the incoming truck can also be used as an output truck. This has the advantage of reducing unloading, loading and rental costs. In order to investigate this state of the problem, a mathematical model has been developed in order to obtain the appropriate answer to solve the mathematical model and to determine the validity and accuracy of modeling from gams optimization software in low and medium and high sizes that optimization software can finding the optimal answer matlab software and ant meta-algorithms of ant lion, memetic and ant colony have been used to solve the mathematical model. The results indicate the usability of the proposed proposal and the good efficiency of the anthill algorithm in solving this problem
