For those handling goods, quick procedures and accurate measurements are a must. For parcels of both regular and irregular shapes, Sipi offers Parcelscan 150, a dynamic, automatic and modular system that improves efficiency and reduces costs.
Couriers, logistics operators, and warehouse managers know that the key data to capture in moving packages are their weight and volume.
With weight and volume, volumetric weight is calculated, given by the volume of the package divided by the volumetric coefficient, which varies according to the type of transport.
Volumetric weight makes it possible to optimize vehicle loads, allowing the available space to be filled to the maximum without exceeding the weight limit. In addition, by comparing volumetric weight and actual weight, transportation rates are established.
From here it can be guessed that the main needs of those who have to move packages are:
- obtain these measurements as quickly and accurately as possible;
- have the data obtained available in real time for subsequent operations.
If you find yourself handling regular and irregularly shaped packages (from box to envelope) in your business, one tool that can guarantee you speed and accuracy is the Sipi Parcelscan 150 system.
Parcelscan 150: identify, track and measure in one move
Sipi’s Parcelscan 150 is a dynamic, automatic, modular system for calculating the weight and volume of packages.
How it works.
Each parcel is identified on multiple sides using an omni-directional barcode reader.
With a single measurement and in dynamic mode, Parcelscan 150 captures the parcel’s height, width, length and weight data and, in real time, makes it available to the company’s management system for processing and printing any shipping label.
Each package is also photographed so that its condition of integrity can be attested.
The system is modular and can therefore be used as an extension of sorter lines or combined with automatic labeling systems.
Parcelscan 150 can process up to 1,200 packages per hour, and all fully automatically, without the intervention of any operator.
Three good reasons to choose Parcelscan 150
There are at least 3 good reasons to choose Parcelscan 150.
- Speed of measurement: all data is acquired in one “click”.
- Accuracy: there is no room for human error.
- Reduced process time: each parcel is simultaneously identified, weighed, measured and recorded.
From these three main advantages, a number of positive consequences follow.
- Quick operations and immediate availability of measurements in the management system help speed up order preparation.
- Reduced time also leads to reduced costs.
- Accurate measurements make it possible to optimize the loading capacities of transport vehicles and efficiently manage warehouse space.
- Identification and traceability of each package, with data referable to it, facilitates “track and trace” for operators and end customers.
- Data analysis can enable the development of strategies to offer more competitive prices or to identify loss-making services. By focusing the analysis on the packages of each individual customer, it is possible to define the particularities of their shipments and devise customized services.
The fields of application
We have already mentioned the usefulness of Parcelscan 150 for shipping, logistics and warehouse companies.
Its use can also facilitate the work of postal sorting centers, e-commerce, quality control of outgoing goods.
Take the example of e-commerce: the need to send a significant number of packages frequently requires that packages meet courier standards so as not to incur overcharges.
With Parcelscan 150, outgoing packages will have exactly the predetermined weight and bulk, avoiding snags, delays and extra costs.
