Volume Measurement for Efficient Packing in Outbound Logistics Processes
3D cameras measure packages and fill levels of pallet cages
Packing pallet cages, pallets and other load carriers safely and efficiently is a key task in outbound logistics. Precise volume recording of parcels and goods helps to make optimum use of the available loading space and ensure smooth onward distribution. The stereo and time-of-flight camera technology measures packages precisely, detects gaps in pallet cages and thus enables optimum packing. A robot carries out all process steps autonomously.
Stereo vision for maximum precision, time-of-flight technology for efficiency
The parcels, identified by their target region, are routed onto a storage surface. There they are measured and localized using stereo technology. A logistics robot picks up the parcel and a second 3D camera with ToF technology determines the appropriate place in the pallet cage intended for the respective target region. This allows the logistics robot to optimally load the pallet cage.
We have observed that a lot of manual work is still carried out in warehouse and logistics processes. Modern image processing solutions can automate sub-steps in many areas. Employees are relieved and quality checks can be carried out along process chains.
