1. A method to optimize operation of a parcel terminal having a mast and a loader attached thereto, the mast being configured to move horizontally within the parcel terminal and the loader being configured to move vertically within the parcel terminal, wherein the method comprises:
receiving, at a computing device, an initial horizontal location of the mast and an initial vertical location of the loader;
receiving, at the computing device, a desired horizontal location of the mast and a desired vertical location of the loader;
calculating, using the computing device, a horizontal travel distance based on the initial and desired horizontal locations of the mast and a vertical travel distance based on the initial and desired vertical locations of the loader;
calculating, using the computing device, a horizontal travel time with a maximum horizontal speed based on the calculated horizontal travel distance and a vertical travel time with a maximum vertical speed based on the calculated vertical distance; and
synchronizing, using the computing device, a horizontal movement of the mast and a vertical movement of the loader based on the calculated horizontal travel time and the calculated vertical travel time.
