A better bottom line. As companies strive toward the achievement of these four magic -- and often elusive words, the objective is clear: trim expenditures while embracing opportunities for growth. This involves taking a cold hard look at ongoing practices, identifying underperforming areas, setting new goals, and implementing strategic measures toward their achievement. One area where many companies struggle with accepting the status quo relates to warehouse optimization. Rather than continuing with outdated, inefficient and inferior distribution center practices, many companies are turning toward CubiScan dimensioning and weighing systems from Quantronix.
Below are five reasons why you should incorporate CubiScan as part of your 21st century business strategy to achieve not only superior data collection and enhanced warehouse optimization, but also a better bottom line across your company-wide operations.
1. Increase Productivity
If you are still relying on manual data collection to optimize your warehouse, you are likely paying more for less. Not only is manual collection less accurate, but it is also more time consuming. Incorporating CubiScan to capture consistent and accurate cube data for slotting projects vastly increases warehouse productivity while reducing labor costs.
Rather than employing multiple personnel for your measuring needs, CubiScan lets you consolidate efforts thereby reducing inconsistencies and bolstering data integrity. Reducing the manual measurement process also promotes safer outcomes for both employees and package contents.
2. Improve Accuracy
From irregular-shaped parts and components to small and large boxes and case-pack items, CubiScan offers unprecedented precision for all of your planning needs. Step away from the frustrating tape measure and instead embrace a simpler, more effective approaching to capturing information and translating it into actionable insights about everything from storage space planning to carton size selection.
Bad cube data is expensive. CubiScan eliminates bad data resulting in improved profits for your business as well as the clients you serve.
3. Enhance Efficiency
Is your distribution center as fast as it could be? If you’re still relying on manual methods to collect cube and weight data, the answer is likely a definitive “No.” CubiScan lets you maximize profits by maximizing efficiency. Not only does CubiScan improve packaging processes, it also streamlines the process through an integrated data transfer solution which enhances communications toward comprehensive warehouse efficiencies.
4. Optimize Space
Whether you’re trying to load more onto a truck or attempting to eek out a few extra feet of storage in your warehouse, CubiScan lets you maximize space while eliminating material waste and picking errors. Time may be money, but any distribution center operator knows that space is an equally valuable commodity.
A number of different CubiScan models -- including both static and in-line dimensioning systems, each of which incorporates advanced sensing technologies, such as infrared and ultrasound -- can be used to precisely measure a parcel’s length, width and height for sought after warehouse optimization.
5. Promote Planning
But CubiScan’s advantages aren’t limited to better data collection; they also lead to enhanced company-wide logistical planning. Whether you’re strategizing toward better picking and shipping processes or focusing on meeting your storage location needs more efficiently, the CubiScan promotes informed, insightful strategic planning while also promoting consistent company-wide standards across everything from sorting and space allocation, to general material handling and warehouse optimization solutions.
Whether you need a large-scale, static dimension scanning device, for stationary objects or an in-motion system for parcels traveling on conveyer lines, CubiScan offers a model to meet your particular dimensioning, weighing and warehouse optimization needs. As more and more companies turn toward CubiScan -- more than 6,000 installations worldwide in a wide range of industries including, consumer goods, health and beauty, retail, hardware, pharmaceuticals and more -- businesses which fail to adapt face the imperative: evolve or perish. CubiScan offers valuable partnership in transforming your dimensioning and weighing obstacles into opportunities to gain a critical market edge.
