For dimensioning in an industry-leading 0.2 seconds within an NTEP Certified

0.5 inches of accuracy, Rice Lake Weighing Systems’ iDimension™ Series is the premier dimensioning solution for the logistics industry.

Logistical dimensioning was once reserved to parcels measuring more than three cubic feet but with the surge of e-commerce and the ever-increasing holiday demands, large shipping carriers like FedEx®, UPS® and DHL® needed a way to charge fair shipping weights for space used on ground freight. Now, that time has come where all parcels will be charged actual weight or dimensional weight. With large rate spikes forecasted and even larger shipping volumes predicted, logistics and shipping businesses need fast and accurate dimensions from durable, high-quality equipment.

At Rice Lake Weighing Systems, we are at the forefront of logistical dimensioning.

Our iDimension™ Series of 3D imaging systems is the fastest solution in the industry for calculating NTEP Certified dimensions of boxes, flats, polybags, tubes and other irregular-shaped packages. Unlike other dimensioning models that require exact parcel placement, iDimension can quickly capture dimensions from parcels placed anywhere in its work area. An added high–resolution camera captures an image of the parcel to identify bar codes and OCR data. iDimension’s free API allows users to interface with the system to retrieve dimensions, weight, a low-resolution image and additional data using a simple HTTP request and XML parsing method. iDimension is easily installed over existing conveyors and workstations, streamlining operations and optimizing efficiency and quality.

iDimension is ideally suited for small businesses, mail counters, large operations and warehouses. With three models available, fast, accurate dimensioning is now a reality for most businesses and applications.

As an international leader in the manufacture and distribution of weight-related products and process-control equipment, Rice Lake Weighing Systems meets industry challenges head-on with 70 years of experience and cutting-edge research and design. We plant our roots firmly in the principles of quality and customer service to deliver the highest standard of product and service in the weighing—and dimensioning—industry.
