VolScan - Freight dimensioning by laser

Inaccurate dimensional volumes cost cargo carriers millions!

Obtaining dimensional and weight data in most transport environments is labor intensive, time consuming and inaccurate. These inaccuracies annually cost the air cargo industry millions of dollars in lost revenue.

VolScan allows you to recapture these losses through automated, accurate and impartial dimensioning. This will enable your company to maximize its freight revenue through re-billing and enforcement of your proper shipping costs.

How does VolScan work?

VolScan laser-scans your palletized shipment in full 3D using small roof-mounted units.

Once VolScan has digitized the full shape of the shipment it automatically calculates enclosing width, depth, height, volume, and removes any pallet dimensions. This full 3D process means that gaps, bulges and out of squares are measured and the true volume is calculated!

VolScan laser freight dimensioning user interface

All your dock workers need see is the simple output of the dimensions - they communicate with VolScan via a simple touch-screen interface.

VolScan is a breakthrough application of precision dimensioning technology. It provides the capability to simultaneously calculate the dimensional weight vs. actual weight of a shipment in the warehouse environment. All measuring is done while the cargo is weighed, thereby actually speeding up the workflow.

VolScan concisely dimensions items while hanging unobtrusively from the ceiling. This provides forklifts and their operators 360 degree access to the work area. If needed, visual evidence of the actual shape of each shipment can be saved. By automating the dimming process. VolScan reduces labour requirements, while virtually eliminating the cost of error-induced measurements.

The VolScan is quick, efficient and built tough for heavy industrial applications. Accurate three dimensional renderings of almost any shipment are produced in seconds. The system can interface with the customer’s Management Operating System via standard PC networking technology. Bar code reading and label printing are upgradeable features.
