LTL cubing system: Rice Lake Weighing
Systems’ iDimension LTL system uses sensing
technology to accurately determine the cubic
dimensions of freight. According to the company, the system’s ability to capture NTEP
(National Type Evaluation Program)-certified
dimensions helps ensure freight code compliance and deters revenue-loss from miscalculated dimensions.
The iDimension LTL is ideal for LTL (
less-than-truckload) carriers and shipping departments with a high percentage of product
shipped via pallet or crate. It removes the
potential for human error and eliminates the
need to manually determine cubic dimensions, the company says.
Up to two cameras can be added to provide images of the freight for visual verification of the freight’s condition at the time of
measurement. Images can include dimensions
and a time/date stamp.
The ceiling-mounted system offers
360-degree access for easy pallet placement
within the 8- by 8-foot target area. Its imaging
technology dimensions LTL freight at a rate of
2 to 3 seconds within 0.5-inch accuracy.
The operator display, mounted on the
system, provides a visual of freight dimensions to the forklift driver. Once a pallet has
been dimensioned, the measurements and a
“remove” message are displayed to indicate
the system has completed dimensioning and
the forklift driver can remove the freight.
A Windows-based software program and
industrial touchscreen PC provide connectivity with bar-code scanners, floor scales, and
other networked devices to trigger the system
to dimension. (Rice Lake Weighing Systems,

Parcel dimensioner: Mettler Toledo has
announced the latest addition to its line of parcel dimensioners, the CSN950. According to
the company, the CSN950
MultiHead dimensioner
provides the highest read
rates on parcels of any
shape and is designed to
automatically dimension
an extremely wide range
of parcel types.
With the CSN950 MultiHead, objects of all
shapes are identified and measured—even
small items down to 2 millimeters in height.
The dimensioning software redirects parcels
that are too large to go down an out-feed
and detects touching or overlapping parcels
that could potentially cause mis-sorts that
result in incorrect deliveries. (Mettler Toledo,

Pallet dimensioning solution: QubeVu has released an automated high-speed dimensioning solution for palletized freight. According to the company, the
PalletPro 4x4 provides fast, accurate, and economical dimensioning for pallets and
freight up to 4 by 4 by 6 feet, including cubes, tubes, polybags, and irregular bundled or stacked items. With a scan head that can be ceiling or pole mounted, the
PalletPro provides instant dimensions without requiring object alignment.
Like all QubeVu products, the PalletPro comes with the ability to integrate with
many shipping software programs. This solution also integrates with most floor
scales. (QubeVu, www.qubevu.com)
