The CNS810 is typically used in manual handling applications where an operator places a package on a bench scale under the dimensioner, triggers the instrument, and within just a few seconds the volume is displayed. Computer applications can easily automate the measuring process and collect data without operator intervention
The CNS810 is designed to measure the dimensions of rectangular objects placed on a level surface. Mounted overhead the unit takes up no floor space, demands little or no reorganization of existing operations and allows unrestricted movement under the dimensioner.
Warehousing
Shipping, storage and supply of products are increasingly the focal point for operational improvements. Having accurate dimensioning data on your entire inventory will improve your warehouse management operations, from the receiving to the shipping dock.
Knowing your transport costs
Most carriers and transport companies charge shipping on dimensions only or a dimensional weight tariff. If you charge your customers on weight only, there is a revenue gap. Only by using the same data on your invoicing as your freight forwarder, you can ensure that your incomes cover your real expenses. Detailed information about your transport costs, also allows you to improve carrier selection by negotiating better agreements and identifying carriers that suit your needs.
Improve space management
With accurate dimensioning data on your inventory, you can exploit and maximize your warehouse space and increase your overall capacity.
Verify content of supply
Changes in package size from supplier are quickly discovered through re-dimensioning and re-weighing content of supply of your incoming goods. With such a checking procedure, you have full control of your inventory, and potential trouble later in the process is reduced.
Optimize packing
Planning packing is simple when you know how much space each item requires. By exploiting the space in each carton, you reduce packing material and shipping costs.
Reduces returns of packages
The extra measure besides weight and identification will help you discover errors on a package before shipping. Real time data is compared with registered data of content. If one or more of the factors are incorrect, packages can be sorted and checked. This reduces returns of wrong or damaged packages.
Graphical interface for clear overview
Overhead dimensioning facilitates unrestricted handling of objects and embedded software captures, merges and displays object data on a graphical interface, enabling the operators to always have a clear overview of the measuring process. There is no need for an extra PC, which makes the system more compact, reducing purchase and maintenance costs and eliminating the danger of viruses. The equipment has the ability to interface with WMS and ERP software solutions and additional software is not needed.
Easy setup
In addition, the CNS810 can easily be set up and installed through the use of any PC with a web browser. Features such as web type menus, step through configuration, display of the dimensioners field of view and system configuration overview, all support user-friendly customisation and functionality.
Wide application range
The system handles up to 400 items an hour and is ideally suited to measure a wide variety of regular items in small goods terminals, parcel drop-off centres, post offices, as well as shipping docks and warehouses.
Cost efficiency
For transport purpose, the CNS810 serves as a valuable tool to secure revenues. While the benefits for a warehouse mainly lies in the ability to determine correct object data to update databases when receiving goods, and the knowledge to calculate actual transport cost when shipping goods.
