Cargo Load optimization is the process of consolidating multiple shipments and/or arranging freight to use the capacity of trucks, railcars, pallets, and any other types of containers in the most efficient way.
Loading hundreds, or even thousands, of items in containers is an NP-hard problem, also called 3D Bin Packing Problem (3DBPP). It cannot be solved exactly due to the highly combinatorial nature of the problem.
To alleviate this, Freight-forwarders and shippers often use packing software that helps to optimize volume utilization and reduce shipment costs.
