Accordingly, the loading order determining module 1541 may determine the loading order according to the mass value measured or confirmed in each product with respect to the weight having the highest weight. Alternatively, the loading order determining module 1541 may reflect the weight in loading variable information of each product and determine the loading order according to a value compared through summation.

For example, when the loading variable information is weight, the larger the measured or acquired mass, the higher the loading order may be. This can apply pressure to the bottom of a product with a larger mass, thereby preventing an increase in the risk of deformation or damage to other products located at the bottom. In addition, when the loading variable information is a volume, the loading order may be prioritized as the volume measured or obtained is larger. This can maximize space efficiency by allowing bulky products to occupy space in the initial packaging container. In addition, if there is no information about the mass, the loading order may be determined according to the prediction that the weight may be relatively heavy as the volume increases.

Here, the loading order determining module 1541 may determine the loading order by using only a specific index having the highest priority when extracting one or more of the importance index from the loading variable information, and a value reflecting weights in all indexes It is possible to determine the loading order by comparing them through the summation of .

', '2' corresponding to the weight of the second purchased product as 'normal', the weight of the second purchased product as 'normal', the volume by 6 cm3, and the hardness as 'normal' corresponding to '2' may be analyzed. The loading order determining module 1541 may determine a weight having the highest weight as a priority of the loading order. Accordingly, the loading order determining module 1541 may acquire loading order information for locating the second product having a weight of 2 kg at the bottom first in the loading order.

Additionally, the loading order determination module 1541 may compare values calculated by multiplying information measured or obtained in each product by a weight in weight, breakage safety, volume, and hardness set as the importance index. Specifically, in the case of the first purchased product, the value calculated by reflecting the weight on the importance index is '2.5', the breakage safety is '6', the volume is '12', the hardness is '1', and the sum value is ' 21.5'. In the case of the second purchased product, the value calculated by reflecting the weight in the importance index is '5', the breakage safety is '4', the volume is '9', the hardness is '2', and the sum value is '20' becomes this Through this, the loading order determining module 1541 may acquire loading order information in which the loading order of the first purchased product is located at the bottom first.

It can be expanded into an additional loading area. The Maxrects (Maximal Rectangle) algorithm enables the area calculated by arranging a second rectangular object, a third rectangular object, etc. that may be nested in the additional loading area. The loading build analysis module 1542 may use the width, length, and height information that can be calculated from the three-dimensional shape information, and the width, volume, and the like for the Maxrects (Maximal Rectangle) algorithm.

The loading build analysis module 1542 may position the first hexahedron having the highest loading order to be in contact with the origin of the 3D coordinates of the x, y, and z axes. The loading build analysis module 1542 may divide the space by using three corners of the cube that are not in contact with the x, y, and z axes. In this case, the loading build analysis module 1542 may utilize the Maxrects (Maximal Rectangle) algorithm. After that, the loading build analysis module 1542 loads the second hexahedron to be in contact with the first hexahedron, determines whether a second hexahedron can be included in the divided space, and places the second hexahedron in the available space. can be positioned. And the loading build analysis module 1542 re-divides the space using each corner of the second cube with respect to the divided space after the second cube is located. In this case, the loading build analysis module 1542 may remove an invalid space. The invalid space may be divided into an area included in another space or an area having a negative height or width value. Through this, the loading build analysis module 1542 may remove the invalid space and analyze whether the cube of all products subject to combined packaging may be included in the re-divided space. The loading build analysis module 1542 may recognize the object on which the cube of the product is overlapped as one object and determine the standard of the packaging cube that fits the length of the longest side.
