The simplicity of the flexible meter has been combined by SIPI with electronic precision and wireless data transmission.
Measuring accurately, recording the exact starting dimensions of each package so that it can be checked at the time of delivery, ensuring that it is transported correctly; calculating the cost of pallet handling accurately, and especially of packages not organized in pallets, based on data untainted by any inaccuracies or human error.
These are some of the main needs of those working in logistics or managing the warehouse of a manufacturing company.
It is to meet these needs that SIPI has designed a series of measuring instruments with advanced technology, where it is the machine that measures and transmits all the data.
Among these tools it is worth presenting SIPI’s stretch meter, or flexometer, bluetooth, which is not bulky, convenient to handle, and allows the dimensions of packages and pallets to be calculated with absolute precision.
The smart version of the flexometer
SIPI’s bluetooth meter has the main features of a flexometer, that is, a non-rigid, extendable meter.
What distinguishes it from the more classic model are the built-in laser for reading barcodes and the wireless system for transmitting the size of the neck and the contents of the code to the software installed on a PC, tablet or handheld terminal.
How is SIPI’s bluetooth meter used?
As a first step, the operator scans, with the laser built into the flexometer, the bar code identifying the package or pallet. Immediately the code will appear in the appropriate screen space on the device being used.
We then proceed with the measurement of the three dimensions, exactly as with a normal flexible meter, except that the measurements will not depend on the operator’s reading but will be acquired electronically by the flexometer and transmitted to the software.
Measurements expressed in the unit of measurement chosen by the operator: centimeters, millimeters or inches.
By associating the SIPI flexometer with a pallet weigher or a normal scale, weight data can be added, resulting in a complete description of the package.
At this point, all measurements can be transmitted to the labeling machine for printing the descriptive label of the package and to the company management system for use in invoicing and archiving.
Because it is easy to use, the Bluetooth meter can be used by the drivers of freight trucks themselves.
As in the case of automatic systems (Parcelscan and Palletscan), the bluetooth flexometer can be used to take one or more photos via handheld or camera on a PC that can be archived so that they can be consulted at any time.
The flexometer is also recommended for those already using Parcelscan or Palletscan; it can support these instruments in measuring parcels that exceed their detection limits.
To every company its software
SIPI not only designs the instrumental part of each product but also designs its software, software designed to talk easily with different operating and management systems.
The fact that it is a SIPI creation, makes the software modifiable in case of special needs of the user.
The use of SIPI software also means that the customer can benefit from immediate intervention in case of problems, without having to wait for assistance from an additional supplier.
Intervention can also take place remotely.
Ease of use and convenience
SIPI’s bluetooh meter is an easy-to-use and highly accurate tool.
Because of its reliability and any associated images, it avoids any disputes over package measurements and condition, eliminating loss of time and money in possible litigation.
With its low cost compared to more complex measurement systems, it is the ideal choice for companies that need accurate detection tools but do not involve large investments.
Useful, not bulky, convenient: SIPI’s Bluetooth flexometer may rightfully join the must-have tools for those involved in goods handling.
