Claim 0:
1. A system comprising:
a controller;
a record generation processor;
an image recognition processor;
a shipping information processor; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, perform operations, comprising:
receiving, via the image recognition processor, 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, via the image recognition processor, a first object from the first image data, the first object being recognized as an item to be shipped with the shipment;
actuating, via the controller, transport of the shipment from the information gathering station to a filling station distinct from the information gathering station via a conveyance system;
receiving, via the record generation processor, 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, via the image recognition processor, a second object from the second image data, the second object being recognized as the packing material for the shipment;
identifying, via the image recognition processor, information associated with packing the item for the shipment;
generating, via the record generation processor, 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, via the image recognition processor, 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, via the shipping information processor, the shipment record with a unique identifier;
storing, at the memory, the shipment record associated with the unique identifier in a data store; and
based on the determined inside configuration of the shipment, training 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.
