Method and system for identifying and grouping alimentary elements for physical transfer

A method for identifying and grouping alimentary elements for physical transfer, the method comprising:

• scanning, by an identification device, a first machine readable label and a second machine-readable label, wherein the first machine-readable identifies a first order and the second machine-readable label identifies a second order;
• determining, by the identification device and from the scan of the first machine-readable label, a first plurality of alimentary elements associated with the first order and a first destination;
• determining, by the identification device and from the scan of the second machine-readable-label, a second plurality of alimentary elements associated with the second order and a second destination;
• constructing, by the identification device and in response to scans of the first and second machine-readable labels, a linear data structure of a first sequential collection of alimentary elements and a second sequential collection of alimentary elements in response to scanning the first and second machine-readable labels;
• wherein the first sequential collection of alimentary elements includes the first plurality of alimentary elements associated with the first order and the second sequential collection of alimentary elements includes the second plurality of alimentary elements associated with the second order;
• determining, by the identification device, as a function of the linear data structure, whether the first order and the second order are to be transferred together, wherein determining further comprises:
• calculating a score for a pair comprising the first order and the second order as a function of a linear optimization function, the first destination, the second destination, the first plurality of alimentary elements, and the second plurality of alimentary elements, wherein the linear optimization function includes minimizing a plurality of loss functions, where each loss function in the plurality of loss functions generates a minimal output;
• and
• assigning a same transfer path to the first and second orders as a function of the score with a lowest size for the pair;
• and
• transmitting, by the identification device, a grouping instruction for the first and second orders as a function of the same transfer path, wherein the grouping instruction is displayable on a graphical user interface.
