Original Abstract Submitted
a method and system of generating embarkation files for packing a container. the method and system including a light detection and ranging (lidar) scanner to scan objects to be packed into a container and generate a digital twin of each scanned object; generating an embarkation data file including embarkation data required for shipping the equipment set, processing the embarkation data file using a 3d bin packing algorithm configured to provide a packing solution to optimally pack all the objects of the equipment set in one or more customizable container configurations, and using an augmented reality (ar) computer tablet and/or ar headset, and performing a digital pack out of the associated equipment set; and the user exporting to the embarkation system a final 3d map of the location of each object of the equipment set within the container to be used for an actual physical pack out of the associated equipment.
