Carton Dimensioning

In today’s E-commerce world of order fulfillment, major shipping companies are moving forward with size and weight-based pricing, also known as dimensional pricing.

Dimensions of parcels are needed for pricing information and are necessary to determine storage and shipping requirements.

Space management is one of the keys that focuses on a warehouse management system; therefore package dimension information helps ensure there is no wasted space to maximize storage capacity.

 

YOUR BENEFITS

  • Reduce wasted space in order to maximize storage capacity.
  • 2.5mm edge resolution to detect maximum dimensions even on irregular shaped packages.
  • IO-Link, Modbus-RTU, and RS-485 models are available.

  • Accurate Carton Dimensioning with Banner's EZ-ARRAY Light Screens

Banner Engineering’s EZ-ARRAY measuring light curtains detect items as small as 5 mm wide with an edge resolution of 2.5 mm, and have high excess gain for detecting opaque objects. These features allow for reliable detection and measurement of packages that pass through the light curtains.

The total number of beams blocked for each pair of the measuring light curtain indicates the package size, which is sent to a sorter as an analog signal. A PLC then diverts each carton to the appropriate storage location.

Banner's EZ-ARRAY light screens are rugged and cost-effective for carton dimensioning. The light screens are easy to install and have a simple setup with remote TEACH programming. The controller functionality is built into the receiver, so basic setup requires no controller, software or PC. The array heights range from 150 to 2400 mm. The EZ-ARRAY are available in IO-Link, Modbus-RTU, and RS-485 models.
