  • Publication number: 20210092863
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for automated bag packaging, comprising at least one processor; and memory storing comprising: receiving an order comprising at least one item; searching at least one data store to determine one or more properties associated with each item; for each group: performing an optimization process for packaging the at least one item into one or more bags, by: selecting a data structure representing a first bag, the data structure comprising a size of the first bag; iteratively simulating packaging of a largest item of the group into the first bag until all items are packaged in the selected bag; generating at least one set of instructions for packaging the items into the selected bag; and sending the generated instructions to a computer system for display, the instructions including at least one item identifier and one bag identifier.

  • Publication number: 20210089975
    Abstract: The automatic packaging acquisition system includes at least one processor executing the instructions for performing operations. The operations may include receiving forecast data indicating a first expected number of packages over a first period of time required to ship an expected number of orders handled by a first fulfillment center, determining the historical scan events from a plurality of mobile devices associated with the first fulfillment center over a second period of time, determining a second number of packages based on the determined historical scan events, calculating a target quantity of packages based on the first expected number of packages and a value indicating cover days, instantiating a first electronic order for packages, based on the calculated target quantity, a current quantity of packages, an ordered number of packages, and the second number of packages; and send the first order to a remote computer system.

  • Patent number: 10740862
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for efficient box packing and visualization. One method comprises receiving, from a remote system, an order comprising at least one item; searching at least one data store to determine dimensions associated with the at least one item; and modifying dimensions of at least one largest item of the order using a factor. The method may further comprise selecting a data structure representing a first package, the data structure comprising a size of the first package; iteratively simulating packing the items into the first package based on the modified dimensions, until all items are packed in the selected package; and generating at least one set of instructions for packing the items into the selected package. The method may further comprise sending the generated instructions to a second system for display, the instructions including at least one item identifier and one package identifier.

  • Patent number: 10706387
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for automatic packaging determination comprising memory storing instructions and at least one processor performing steps comprising: receiving an order comprising at least one item; searching at least one data store to determine tags and properties associated with each item; sorting the items into at least one group; for each group: performing an optimization process for packaging the items in the group, by: selecting a data structure representing a first package; iteratively simulating packaging of a largest item of the group into the first package until all items are packaged, wherein if the simulating determines that the items in the group do not fit into the selected package: choosing a larger package, iteratively packing until all items are packed in the larger package; and generating set of instructions for packaging the items into the box; and sending the generated instructions for display.
