Take the Guesswork Out of Dimensioning to Boost Your Bottomline

Cubing and Weighing Systems

Save Space and Lower Freight & Storage Costs with Cubing & Weighing Systems

It’s hard to imagine a modern distribution center that doesn’t rely on cubing and weighing systems to eliminate the guesswork in capturing the myriad of inventory specs processed every day. These systems use dimensioning technology such as ultrasonic, laser, camera, or infrared sensing to swiftly scan each item, providing precise data to various management systems like warehouse management (WMS), transportation management (TMS), or enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. This data helps optimize multiple operations, including storage, load planning, packaging, pallet building, and shipping. Dimensioning systems enhance overall efficiency and replace error-prone, labor-intensive, and potentially risky manual activities with speed and precision.

Cost Savings: Dimensioning equipment can lead to significant savings on packing materials, storage space, and shipping fees.

Optimized Packing: Precision dimensions enable the selection of appropriately sized cartons, reducing costs associated with void fill, freight charges, and corrugate material.

Storage Optimization: Accurate size data facilitates optimal product slotting, maximizing storage space utilization and minimizing storage costs.

Enhanced Efficiency: Integration with powerful software streamlines omnichannel fulfillment operations, ensuring profitability in today's dynamic market landscape.

Versatility: Choose from a range of configurations to accommodate the diverse needs of your inventory. Consider handheld units for small packages and fixed-position systems for full pallet loads.
