1. A method for automated generation of motion and position parameters of a machine for bundle arrangements, the machine being a packaging machine or a palletizing machine, the method comprising:
receiving, at a user interface, at least one of layer parameters and packaging parameters;
transmitting the layer parameters or the packaging parameters to a server;
generating, on the server, parameters for controlling the machine, wherein the parameters are generated such that the packaging machine being controlled using the parameters creates a package for a bundle according to at least one of the packaging parameters and the layer parameters, or the palletizing machine being controlled using the parameters arranges bundles according to at least one of the layer parameters and the packaging parameters, wherein:
generating the parameters comprises calculating the parameters using a digital twin of the machine or using artificial intelligence, wherein calculating the parameters comprises minimizing unused power reserves of the movement of moving components of the machine, and
the unused power reserves are implemented based on operating limits of the machine that are not utilized during normal operation;
receiving a data set from the server, wherein the data set includes the generated parameters for controlling the machine; and
configuring the machine based on the received data set.
