Abstract: A payload optimization system is disclosed and may include one or more visual sensors operably coupled to a hauling machine and configured to scan and produce a payload body data set. The system may further include a loading machine including a payload bucket configured to load a payload into the payload body. Moreover, a loading system controller may be communicably coupled to each of the hauling machine and the loading machine and configured to identify the hauling machine and the loading machine using a set of machine identifiers. Moreover, the controller may receive the payload body data set from the one or more visual sensors, generate a payload body map, and program a loading sequence of the payload body based on the payload body map. The loading system controller may transmit and display the loading sequence configured to guide a loading cycle between the hauling machine and the loading machine.
