boxinto
Boxinto is a term used in logistics and computer science to describe a family of algorithms and software for solving box packing problems. The goal is to determine how a set of items can be placed inside one or more boxes to minimize wasted space, weight, or cost while satisfying constraints such as item orientation, fragility, and order fulfillment requirements.
Origin and concept: The term combines "box" and "into," reflecting the transformation of a list of items
Architecture and features: The platform typically offers a geometry engine to model item dimensions and box
Applications: Boxinto is used for e-commerce fulfillment, third-party logistics, and manufacturing where space efficiency and shipping
Limitations and reception: The problem is NP-hard in general, so real-world deployments balance solution quality with
