Abstract
Systems, apparatuses and/or methods may provide for generating a packing order of items within a container that consolidates the items into a reduced space. Items may be scanned with a three-dimensional (3D) imager, and models may be generated of the items based on the data from the 3D imager. The items may be located within minimal-volume enclosing bounding boxes, which may be analyzed to determine whether they may be merged together in one of their bounding boxes, or into a new bounding box that is spatially advantageous in terms of packing. If a combination of items is realizable and is determined to take up less space in a bounding box than the bounding boxes of the items considered separately, then they may be merged into a single bounding box. Thus, a spatially efficient packing sequence for a plurality of real objects may be generated to maximize packing efficiency.
