Reduced shipping costs through precise measuring and weighing

The dimensions are measured by ultrasound and the weight is determined by an integrated scale. By scanning the barcode, the article is identified and the respective measurement data is clearly assigned. The transmission of the master data is automated. The recorded measurement results are transmitted to the customer’s shipping software via an interface and can in turn be exchanged directly with the carriers from there without media breaks. If further information is to be stored, the optionally available MultiScan software can be used. Which attributes are to be recorded, can be configured to a high degree by the user.

Freely configurable measurement of article coordinates for your requirements

Examples include information on article handling, such as breakage risk or hazardous material classes. This also results in a very good adaptability of the solution in case of future changes in requirements. Optionally, an identification photo of the carton can also be created, e.g. to document the integrity of the carton or its contents before shipment, ensuring quality control. Depending on your requirements, the CartonScan offers measuring ranges of 600 mm or 800 mm length and width.
