Volume measurement of parcels for palletizing in outbound logistics

3D cameras with time-of-flight technology measure parcels and provide additional true-color information for documentation.

Image processing reliably reads postal barcodes so that parcels can be stacked in parcel cages for further distribution. Using time-of-flight technology, the volume of the parcels can be reliably determined to ensure that the skeleton boxes are optimally filled.
When the blaze camera is combined with a color camera, the combined image also provides a record for quality assurance.

Volume Measurement for Efficient Packing in Outbound Logistics Processes

The basis for the packing process is sorting according to postal routing codes

Parcels and goods that go the last mile for delivery must be sorted by destination region. This information is contained in postal routing codes, which are included in barcodes and QR codes for digitally created shipping labels. You can find out which image processing system simultaneously reads different 1D and 2D codes and enables text recognition (OCR) in our use case:

Use case "Machine vision reads codes and text in any orientation"
