Claim 13:
14. A method for processing a shipment record associated with a shipment, comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, image data from an image capture device, wherein the image data relates to an interior of the shipment before packing material is added;
recognizing, by the one or more processors, an object from the image data, the object being recognized as an item to be shipped with the shipment;
receiving, by the one or more processors, information relating to the recognized object;
generating, by the one or more processors, a shipment record comprising at least a part of the image data and at least a part of the information relating to the recognized object;
storing, by the one or more processors, the shipment record in a data store;
accessing, by the one or more processors, one or more other shipment records from the data store;
actuating, by the one or more processors, transport of the shipment from an information gathering station to a filling station distinct from the information gathering station via a conveyance system;
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 for each of the one or more other shipment records;
evaluating, by the one or more processors, the determined inside configuration using machine learning inferences to determine one or more patterns associated with packing the item for the shipment, the machine learning inferences being based, at least in part, on one or more historical actions;
determining, by the one or more processors, whether at least one of the one or more patterns exceeds a threshold;
when at least one of the one or more patterns exceeds the threshold, generating, by the one or more processors, at least one suggestion based on the one or more patterns wherein the at least one suggestion comprises a corrective action for packing a packing material into a void space of the interior of the shipment; and
providing, by the one or more processors, the at least one suggestion to a user device as an electronic communication.
