Quick, easy and accurate measurement, weighing and recording of stock items

Accuracy is the first step to warehouse intelligence. In the ever-faster world of logistics, the margin for error is getting smaller and smaller. Every inch of warehouse space, every second of labor and every euro of shipping costs must be used purposefully. Therefore, it is essential to quickly, easily and accurately read and record the dimensions and weight of articles. Cubiscan offers the solution for this. 

“It's easy to forget how much of logistics operations depends on a simple question: how big and heavy is this item really? The answer affects how it is stored, packaged and shipped - and ultimately how much one pays or gets paid. Incorrect dimensions negatively impact warehouses throughout the process as unforeseen costs: bins get overcrowded, carriers charge fines and orders arrive damaged or delayed, to name a few. Warehouse processes are also managed worse as a result. With the Cubiscan measuring and weighing system, thanks to ultrasonic or infrared technology, dimensions and weights can be recorded accurately and quickly down to the millimeter and per 2 grams - even irregular products (such as clothing or tools) or items packed in transparent material (polybags),” states Jesper Zwiers, Business Development Manager Cubiscan at Inther Group, the distributor of this product for the Benelux, Austria and Switzerland. 

Cost Savings

Manually measuring and weighing items is time-consuming, expensive and error-prone. With a Cubiscan, the weight and dimensions are immediately transmitted to the WMS or ERP system and are thus immediately available. The Cubiscan measurement system also leads to lower shipping costs. Zwiers: “Many carriers and logistics service providers invoice based on the actual weight or volume weight, or apply specific dimensional weight rules. If you know the exact weight or volume, you never pay more than necessary.” With Cubiscan, you also optimize your warehouse space. “Because you can determine exactly how much product can be stored in a given space, you have better control over inventory levels and stocking strategies.” A Cubiscan thus provides multiple cost savings and therefore pays for itself at lightning speed. 

Various versions 

Several Cubiscan variants are available: for irregular and/or regular products in both stationary and mobile versions (Cubicart), and for pallets. Zwiers: “The Cubiscan 325 is the most popular because it can scan both regular and irregular products. In summary, thanks to the combination of the latest technologies, data collection has never been easier,” concludes Zwiers.
