Weighing and Measuring for Transport and Logistics

Dimensioning, Weighing and Scanning (DWS) systems are used by parcel express companies to identify, weigh and measure the goods they transport. This guide highlights the options available today. It details what should be considered when selecting and implementing a DWS system.

Parcel express companies have different volumes of parcels and different levels of automation. Some measure parcels on high-speed conveyors; others process small items that move in totes or on tilt-tray sorters. Some handle palletized freight; others do a bit of everything. Each terminal has different requirements for barcode reading, conveyor control, integration and weight and volume measurement. Whatever the application, an express company’s DWS system is important to the daily operation of the facilities that use them. Careful selection of the right solution is important – one that can have a direct input on both revenue and operational productivity. This guide is intended to help you to understand and select the right solution, whatever your data-capture needs.
