1. A system, comprising:
a sensing system;
at least one computing device in data communication with the sensing system; and
at least one application executable in the at least one computing device, wherein, when executed, the at least one application causes the at least one computing device to at least:
determine a layout configuration based at least in part on point cloud data obtained from the sensing system, the point cloud data representing a cross-section of a loading space;
determine item data associated with a plurality of incoming items to be loaded within the loading space, item data comprising at least a plurality of item dimensions and an item type;
determine that the sensing system needs to be repositioned based at least in part on at least one of a completion of an item wall or a detected error in placement of an item in the cross-section of the loading space; and
generate a notification on a user interface rendered on a display device associated with a loading agent, the notification alerting the loading agent that the sensing system needs to be repositioned.
