Cameras or sensors measure length, width, and height in seconds. It can also capture the weight if integrated with floor scales.

4. Image and condition capture

Cameras capture images for proof, condition check, or audit.

5. System integration

The processed data is sent to WMS/TMS/ ERP solutions.

6. Output

Based on the data the system triggers

label printing
shipment approval or rejection
