On the Floor
On Mobile Cart
This is ideal for dynamic environments where workflow processes may change frequently or for businesses requiring measurement capabilities in multiple locations. They can be moved wherever they are needed most, reducing the need for parcels to be transported to a stationary measurement station.
Mechanical Conveyor
Integrating a Dimensioning Weighing Scanning system with a conveyor is a seamless way to automate measurement for high-volume operations or businesses with continuous parcel flow, such as distribution centers or fulfillment facilities.
Which Products Can Be Measured Using DWS Systems?
Parcels /Polybags
You can accurately measure a wide range of parcels and polybags, regardless of their size, shape, or material. However, it’s important to note that there may be a slight limitation with color such as pitch-black polybags. Overall, DWS systems offer precise measurements for most items, ensuring efficient operations.
Cosmetics and Apparels
For businesses like e-commerce, manually measuring large volumes of cosmetics and apparel can be tedious. DWS systems ensure that every lipstick, shirt, or pair of shoes is accurately measured, eliminating discrepancies in inventory counts and ensuring that customers receive the right products every time.
