Claim 19:
20. A method for generating a shipment record, comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, a first image data from a first image capture device, wherein the first image data relates to an interior of the shipment located at an information gathering station before a packing material is added;
recognizing, by the one or more processors, a first object from the first image data, the first object being recognized as an item to be shipped with the shipment;
actuating, by the one or more processors, transport of the shipment from the information gathering station to a filling station distinct from the information gathering station via a conveyance system;
receiving, by the one or more processors, a second image data from a second image capture device different from the first image capture device, wherein the second image data relates to the interior of the shipment located at the filling station after the packing material is added;
recognizing, by the one or more processors, a second object from the second image data, the second object being recognized as the packing material for the shipment;
identifying, by the one or more processors, information associated with packing the item for the shipment;
generating, by the one or more processors, a shipment record comprising:
at least a part of the first image data;
at least a part of the second image data; and
at least a part of the information associated with packing the item for the shipment;

determining, by the one or more processors, an inside configuration of the shipment, the inside configuration of the shipment comprising at least one of shipment content, item arrangement in the shipment, quantity of void space, and arrangement of void space based on the shipment record;
associating, by the one or more processors, the shipment record with a unique identifier;
storing, by the one or more processors, the shipment record associated with the unique identifier in a data store; and
based on the determined inside configuration of the shipment, training, by the one or more processors, a machine learning model for at least a correlation between the item to be shipped with the shipment and the packing material for the shipment.
