Abstract

Disclosed are various embodiments for optimizing cubic utilization when loading packages into a loading space. A current loading configuration of the loading space can be determined according to image data obtained by 3D sensors. Package data (e.g., volume, mass, type, dimensions, etc.) can be determined for incoming packages to be loaded into the package data. The current loading configuration and the package data are used to determine a package sequence and optimal placement location for the next package to be loaded such that a cubic efficiency of the loading space is maximized and amount of air gaps between packages is minimized.
