Static Parcel Dimensioning
Accurate, Quick and Easy Measurement of Parcels
Expedite the measurement process on each package with a static parcel dimensioner. You can choose to use the system as a standalone solution or combine with a scale and barcode reader to capture dimensions, weight and ID in just seconds. METTLER TOLEDO's static parcel systems are simple to integrate into existing IT infrastructure, which makes the move to automatic measuring simple and seamless.
Why Your Measurements Matter
Accurate measurements and data are critical to parcel identification and efficient shipping processes in a warehouse. Without accurate data, warehouse space utilization and load planning are inefficient, and packages are not rated properly, resulting in shipping back-charges, lost revenue, and customer service hassles. Relying on operators to make manual measurements is slow and error-prone, but static dimensioning systems take your operation to the next level.
Laser-Based vs Camera-Based
When selecting a dimensioning system, it is important to consider the application use. This will help determine if a laser- or camera-based system is more suitable to fit the workflow needs. A laser-based system is ideal for integration into a small to mid-size hub that processes larger, bulkier packages needing to be dimensioned without impacting parcel throughput. A camera-based system functions well in retail manifesting applications when parcels first enter the workflow and require measurement.
TLD850 Laser-Based Static Parcel Dimensioner
Find the ideal solution for your material handling process with the TLD850 Static Parcel Dimensioner. The TLD850 uses laser range finder technology to capture data for precise and repeatable measurements. Designed for unrestricted package flow and the ability to measure both cuboidal and known irregular shapes down to 20mm in height, the system can readily accommodate your operating requirements.
The TLD850 allows for easy data integration with weighing and package identification and can communicate directly with your host computer system. The user-friendly graphical interface provides easy set-up, calibration and diagnostics access to keep processes simple and efficient.

TLD250 Camera-Based Static Parcel Dimensioner
Realize a faster return on your investment and eliminate common logistics challenges with the adaptable, cost-effective TLD250 static dimensioning system. Vision-based sensors with intelligent algorithms provide fast and accurate measurements for cuboidal and non-cuboidal shapes and offer photo proof for claims processing.
With only three main components, including the color display, sensor and electronics modules, the TLD250 features an adaptable design and can be placed on a desk or mounted on a wall, enabling convenient ergonomic positioning to maximize productivity.
Integrate with Shipping Scales
In a shipping manifesting application, you may need to combine dimensioning, weighing and ID in a single step. Static parcel dimensionig solutions can be easily integrated with BC postal scales for a simple, economical system. Speed and accuracy are crucial, which is why these scales are designed for fast and easy weighing.
FAQ
What are the advantages of using our static dimensioning systems?
Static dimensioning systems automate the process of measuring manual packages to make it quicker, more accurate and more reliable. In just seconds, weight, dimension and package ID data can be captured and communicated directly to your host computer system, allowing you to achieve…
- Efficient space utilization
- Effective shipment planning
- Faster shipment processing
- Elimination of DIM weight back-charges
- Shipping revenue recovery
How fast can the system capture measurements?
Static dimensioning systems can capture measurements in as little as 1-3 seconds to maximize your productivity.
Where can I buy a static dimensioning system for warehouses?
METTLER TOLEDO static dimensioning systems for warehouses are available for sale. You can browse our static dimensioning portfolio and discover the benefits of our solutions on mt.com.
Can your static dimensioning system scan multiple objects at the same time?
It is not recommended to use a static dimensioning system to scan more than one object at a time. Scanning one package at a time safeguards accuracy of the measurements to help you achieve effective shipment planning and space utilization. If you need a solution that enables faster measurement or multiple measurements at once, we recommend a dynamic dimensioning or combination solution. Consult your local METTLER TOLEDO expert to find the best fit for your operation.
Can the system measure irregular items?
Our camera-based static dimensioning systems can measure irregular items and packages, including non-cuboidal solid objects such as cylinders, trapezoids, prisms or spheres, as long as the packaging is opaque, while our laser-based static dimensioning systems are approved to measure regular cuboidal and irregular shaped parcels.
Is the static dimensioning system NTEP (Weights & Measures) certified?
METTLER TOLEDO's static dimensioning systems are NTEP and OIML certified.
Can the system combine dimension, weight and barcode ID data?
METTLER TOLEDO’s static dimensioning systems can interface with barcode readers and weighing scales to combine the dimension, weight and ID data into a single transaction and send the data to host PC systems.
What kind of communication interfaces does the static dimensioning system support?
METTLER TOLEDO’s static dimensioning systems can communicate to host PC systems using USB, Ethernet, RS-232 serial and Bluetooth interface options.
