Dimensioning: a useful guide

Dimensioning, weighing and scanning solutions are used by companies that deal with shipments to identify, weigh and measure the goods transported.

Usually, the instruments are integrated in highly automated sorting environments and utilize laser technology and sophisticated data management software, requiring proper planning in terms of costs, solutions, implementation and operation. To facilitate these operations, providing a comprehensive overview of all aspects to  be considered before, during and after the investment, Mettler Toledo has published a practical free guide on technologies and configurations of the dimensioning, weighing and scanning (DWS) systems used in transport and logistics.

The vollume also provides suggestions on the implementation of a new DWS tool, examines how to select the most suitable tools, calculate the total cost of ownership of the new tools and integrate a DWS system into existing operations with minimal impact.
