What is intelligent volume scanning?
Intelligent volume scanning automatically captures item dimensions using precise 3D measurement and weight detection. The technology automatically enhances master data and paves the way for more cost-effective logistics processes.
Accurate master data for secure processes
- Length, width, height and weight of an item are automatically recorded
- Immediate enhancement of the article master data
- Image capture for visual documentation
- Integration into existing ERP and WMS systems
Product features and benefits in brief
Enhanced cost efficiency through precise product data
Improved process quality
Accurate master data ensure secure and efficient warehouse operations. Errors due to incorrect dimensional specifications are eliminated.
Compliance with legal requirements
Accurate data are a prerequisite for legally compliant documentation. All measurements comply with legal requirements.
Reduced shipping costs
Optimal packaging sizes thanks to exact item dimensions. There is no waste of packaging material.
Transparent invoicing
Reliable data enable accurate calculation of freight costs. Over- or under-invoicing is excluded.
Fast data entry
Efficient entry of dimensions, weight, and images. Master data management becomes easier and faster.
Flexible use
Volume scanning is extremely adaptable can be used as a stand-alone or a networked solution. The system adapts to different requirements.
How does intelligent volume scanning work?
The VOLUMIO volume scanning system uses various sensor technologies to accurately capture all relevant item data. MultiScan technology measures objects in three dimensions and simultaneously records their weight.
The software processes the captured data and automatically enhances the article master data. Images are tagged and automatically uploaded. The system supports customer-specific configurations for fields, file formats and hierarchies. Workflow controls enable work planning and provide a status overview for optimum process transparency.
- 3D scanning technology for accurate dimensioning
- Integrated scales for simultaneous weight determination
- Image capture, automatic upload and image tagging
- Flexible data processing with drag-and-drop import/export
- Interfaces to ERP/WMS systems using USB, FTP and cloud communication
Where is volume scanning used?
Optimising master data is key to efficiency across all industries
E-commerce and mail order companies
Exact item data allow to accurately calculate shipping costs and to cut shipping expenses. Ideal packaging sizes are determined automatically.
Logistics services provider
Accurate calculation of freight costs based on precise volume and weight measurement. This helps you avoid additional charges and complaints.
Production and trade
Efficient master data management makes it easy to add new items and expand the product range. Quality assurance is achieved through standardised recording.
Warehousing and distribution
Optimal product positioning based on actual item dimensions. Efficient use of space and error-free order picking.
Your added value
Implementing volume scanning transforms your master data management into an efficient, automated process. Manual measurement errors are eliminated, creating a reliable basis for all downstream processes. Having up-to-date, accurate data allows businesses to realise significant savings in storage and shipping costs. The system quickly pays for itself thanks to optimised packaging sizes and accurate freight calculations. Employees are able to focus on other tasks instead of time-consuming measurement activities.
- Secure investment thanks to accurate, reliable data
- Competitive advantage achieved through cost-optimisation
- Quality improvement as a result of standardised processes
- Volume scanning is a scalable solution, hence perfect for growing product ranges
