Freight cost savings using dimensioning equipment

We Invented Cubing!

Quantronix-first in Cubing- invented and perfected the CubiScan® dimensioning and weighing systems.  Our passion for cubing has led to the development of the broadest range of automated dimensioning and weighing systems.

CubiScan products are used in a wide variety of automated freight handling (air, ground, rail and ocean), parcel postage, material handling, and warehousing systems where dimensional data must be rapidly and accurately obtained for use in computing shipping charges, shipment and logistics planning, storage space planning, material sorting, and so forth.

CubiScan systems are capable of measuring boxes, irregular shapes, crates, or large palletized freight for static or in-motion dimensioning and weighing applications.  

Supply chain and logisitics companies use dimensional data collected by the CubiScans, to provide computerized warehouse management systems (WMS) with accurate cube and weight data to:



 

1 - Maximize storage space and slotting assignments

2 - Select proper carton sizes for order packing 

3 - Determine optimal load planning and pallet stacking configurations

4 - Calculate dimensional-based freight charges for manifesting

5 - Economize labor usage

6 - Direct put-away

7 - Generate efficient pick orders

8 - Identify optimal re-pack carton sizes

Warehouse optimization solutions using cubing technology

Transportation companies use CubiScans to rapidly and accurately apply/audit dimensional-weight shipping charges.  These applications range from small static [parcel], to high-speed in-motion [conveyorized], to large static [pallet] dimensioning.

Dimensioning and Weighing Consultation, ROI, Cubing Benefits

Many of the CubiScan models are type-approved by Weights & Measures authorities for use in legal-for-trade (LFT) applications.  (See the CubiScan 100, 150, 200-TS, 210-SS, 210-DS and 1200-AKL product pages for specific information.)  This is a significant distinction and a prerequisite for certain commercial applications, as well as a mark of quality, consistency and reliability. Optimize your warehouse and minimize your monthly freight bills simply by capturing accurate weights and measurements for everything being stored and shipped.

Quantronix has been, and continues to be, a leader in the development of automated dimension scanning equipment, offering the broadest product line available. We lead the market in price/performance measures and are the default standard for small and large static cubing system applications worldwide.

Quantronix is an innovative, problem-solving organization committed to the further development and cost-effective application of dimension scanning technology in industry today.
