Abstract
Feedback generation for a container load process includes digitizing a manual workflow into stages, assigning intermediate targets to each stage, monitoring the workflow, and generating notifications to exert feedback control over the workflow. Feedback generation can include: storing a set of load stage definitions defining sequential load stages of the load process, each stage definition including: an intermediate performance target, and a stage duration; responsive to arrival of a container at a load bay, receiving a task definition defining a performance target for the load process; retrieving the load stages in sequence and, for each stage: receiving sensor data depicting an interior of the container; determining, based on the sensor data, a performance measurement of the container load process, comparing the performance measurement to the intermediate performance target corresponding to the stage, and based on the comparison, generating an alert and/or status message for transmission to a client computing device.
