Product packaging using computer vision and adaptive packaging selection

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising programming instructions that are configured to cause the processor to implement a method for packing a shipping container, wherein the programming instructions comprise instructions to:
• detect presence of the shipping container;
• identify a void area inside the shipping container;
• divide the void area into a plurality of void area sections;
• obtain a first amount for a first void area section of the plurality of void area sections and a second amount for a second void area section of the plurality of void area sections;
• and
• cause the protective packaging to be dispensed into the void area such that the first amount of the first void area section is filled with protective packaging and the second amount of the second void area section is filled with the protective packaging.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions that, when executed by at least one computing device, will cause the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:

• detecting a presence of the shipping container;
• identifying a void area inside the shipping container;
• dividing the void area into a plurality of void area sections;
• obtaining a first amount for a first void area section of the plurality of void area sections and a second amount for a second void area of the plurality of void area sections;
• and
• causing the protective packaging to be dispensed into the void area such that the first amount of the first void area section is filled with protective packaging and the second amount of the second void area section is filled with the protective packaging.
