We answer the most frequently asked questions
about the freight dimensioning system for automatic freight measuring

The freight dimensioning system for automatic freight measuring allows for an almost position-independent integration of the automatic measurement of palletised goods into the cross docking processes. The system integrates in a space-saving manner. That means the area under the ceiling-mounted measuring unit does not need to be reserved exclusively for the volume measuring system. The freight dimensioning system is also omnidirectional and can thus be accessed from different directions. In less than 1 second, the MetriXFreight volume measurement technology delivers precise measurement data.

As part of the DIVIS ecosystem, Dimension⁺ relieves your staff of tedious manual measurements while speeding up the loading and unloading of pallets. In addition, Dimension⁺ offers a variety of other benefits.

"Dimension⁺ is a Plus⁺ feature" - What does that mean?

With the Plus⁺ feature Dimension⁺ the automatic freight dimensioning can be integrated into our CargoVIS video management system. This adds valuable functionality to the video system that would normally require a stand-alone system application.

With the DIVIS ecosystem, different camera-based automations can be mapped via different Plus⁺ features, such as automatic freight dimensioning with Dimension⁺, and can be controlled while being fully integrated in a single platform.

You have not implemented the CargoVIS solution yet?

Or your logistics hall is already equipped with CargoVIS, but you would now like to integrate the automatic freight dimensioning?

Is the volume measurement system legal for trade?

Yes, the freight dimensioning system is legal for trade and can be certified according to the customer's needs.

If the measurement data is to be used for transport cost invoicing, it is obligatory to use legal for trade data for this purpose in countries such as Germany and Austria.

It should be noted that the regulations for the certification of legal for trade measurement systems may differ from country to country. Therefore the respective valid regulations must be observed and implemented by the operator.

What are the maximum dimensions that can be measured?

Can I measure ANY pallet with Dimension+ or are there exceptions?

Depending on the type of goods, the freight dimensioning system enables the measurement of almost any shipments. On average, this means that at least 90% of all pallets can be measured automatically.

Exceptions are highly reflective pallets (with mirror-like surfaces) or completely transparent objects (made of glass or plexiglass) as well as black-foiled goods or items with protruding foil. These palletised goods will most likely not be measured automatically by the freight dimensioning system.

How does freight measurement with Dimension⁺ work?

For the measurement, the employee places the respective pallet with the forklift truck briefly under the ceiling-mounted measurement station and carries out a scan. He then continues his path. The complete measuring process from setting down to continuing the journey is completed within a few seconds. The actual measurement of a pallet takes only a few milliseconds.

For this reason, up to 600 measurements are possible per hour with the freight dimensioning system.

How is the pallet assigned to the measurement?

The freight measurement system is adaptable to different process-related requirements of the logistics environment and therefore offers various scan options for the assignment of measurements to pallets, depending on which procedure fits best into the processes of the respective logistics setup.

Option 1: Scan of a measuring station barcode

Option 2: Inbound scan of the pallet at the measuring station

Option 3: Additional scan of the pallet at the measuring station

What are the benefits of using the measurement data collected by the freight measurement system?

→ Reducing employee workload through automatic measurements
→ Correct transport cost invoicing with the help of legal for trade measurement data
→ Precise planning of loading space utilisation and optimisation of transports based on reliable volume data

In addition to the measurement data itself, the DIVIS ecosystem provides a variety of other data that are important in the daily logistics processes. For example, other data obtained along the handling process, such as video and location data, can help to clarify losses and damage to goods. In addition, the combination of data opens up valuable opportunities for process optimisation and automation.
