DWS Logistics System with Basler ace 2, ToF Camera & pylon

Parcel volumes worldwide have increased rapidly in recent years - and there is no end in sight to this trend. Processing these ever-increasing volumes efficiently requires solutions that can capture physical quantities (dimensions, weight) and recognize barcodes and matrix codes. In this use case, we present a system that provides dimensioning, weighing, and scanning (DWS) of packages using a Basler solution.

Various requirements for parcel shipping

A DWS system performs a wide range of tasks in parcel shipping: the parcels transported on the conveyor belt must not only be correctly identified, but also precisely measured (such as by laser profile measurements or 3D processes). Since weight also plays a role, a DWS system needs to offer an integrated solution for weighing.

Different tasks – one solution

Basler offers a DWS system for the correct detection and precise measurement of parcels. This DWS solution for parcel transport via conveyor belts consists of three different image processing components:

  • ace 2 area scan cameras

  • ToF 3D Camera

  • pylon Software and pylon vTools

First, four Basler ace 2 cameras scan the passing parcels for barcodes. In the next step, two Basler ToF Cameras precisely measure the packages. The Basler pylon software suite then collects and analyzes this data. The pylon vTools are used to recognize and read the bar, matrix, and/or QR codes that were scanned by the ace 2 cameras. The software also controls the management and setup of the two ToF Cameras, which are responsible for the correct measurement of the parcel. This means that only one piece of software is required for the entire camera control.
