FamiPacking: A Diffusion Model for Guiding 3D Bin Packing

3D bin packing (3D-BPP) is one of the most important problems in logistics. To optimize the packaging material usage, we proposed a novel interactive system based on diffusion models for 3D-BPP, namely FamiPacking, which takes the input of data regarding bins and items to be packed and outputs the minimum number of required bins with a visualization instruction. To our knowledge, this is the first diffusion-based system for packing planning. The techniques behind our FamiPacking have been practiced to deal with real-world challenges and improve the packing system of Taiwan FamilyMart (Taiwan's best convenience store chain).
