Dimensioning in warehouse automation and intralogistics

Measuring cartons, pallets, containers, and goods: A central and multifaceted task in intralogistics

The right 3D Vision technology makes all the difference

Whether dimensioning parcels or pallets, volume measurements plays a key role in automating logistics processes—from storage and sorting to palletizing and shipping. Modern machine vision solutions provide the measurement data needed to optimize efficiency, accuracy, and throughput.

Find the right technology

Typical areas of application in the logistics industry

Whether for optimizing sorting and picking processes, or for reducing times for storage and retrieval processes: Our vision solutions offer a wide range of possible applications.

Palletizing / depalletizing

Optimal palletizing, less capacity loss during transport, faster handling of heavy loads (inbound and outbound).

Inbound scanning & categorization

Optimized sorting processes, prevention of damage, automated and more precise master data collection and validation, higher throughput in the putaway process.

Outbound scanning & sizing

Speed and efficiency gains in truck loading, lower transportation costs, proof of quality and delivery, minimization of losses.

Autonomous vehicles & mobile robots

Improved picking process, shorter cycle times, continuously uniform flow of goods, flexible application options for productivity increases with virtually unchanged conditions.

Picking & Packing

Automated operations, reduction of manual activities for time-consuming tasks; increased productivity, faster and more accurate picking, higher throughput.

Article identification

Higher and more targeted traceability of faulty or damaged goods, lower operating costs by reducing manual activities, no loss of information.

Mail & parcel sorting

Reduction of manual operations, higher and more reliable throughput, shorter job turnaround times, more efficiency when handling special (bulky, fragile) goods.

Packaging optimization

Customized order packaging, minimization of shipping costs (less air in the box, right size of the box), higher working speed and efficiency.
