DWS (Dimensioning Weighing Scanning Systems)

Dimensioning Weighing Scanning (DWS) Systems

In modern logistics, every second and every centimeter count—which is why precision, speed, and automation are critical to operational success. Our Dimensioning Weighing Scanning (DWS) systems are designed to capture the three core data points of any parcel—dimensions, weight, and barcode information—in one seamless, automated motion.

Whether integrated into a high-speed conveyor line or deployed as a standalone workstation, our DWS systems eliminate time-consuming manual measurements and data entry. This not only reduces labor costs but also minimizes human error, improving overall process reliability and throughput.

System Types to Match Your Operation

Dynamic In-Motion DWS

Designed for high-speed conveyor lines, dynamic DWS captures parcel data as items move through a scanning tunnel. Using advanced 3D sensors, in-motion scales, and high-speed barcode readers, the system measures thousands of packages per hour with millimeter-level precision. Ideal for parcel hubs and large-scale fulfillment centers.

Key Capabilities:

  • Processes parcels moving at up to 2–3 m/s.
  • Accurately measures regular and irregular shapes.
  • Inline weighing with trade-approved scales.
  • Reads barcodes in any orientation using multi-side scanning tunnels.
  • Integrates with WMS/OMS for real-time data capture.

Static DWS Stations

When parcels are manually handled, or for lower volumes, static DWS stations offer the perfect solution. Operators place the item on a scale, and with the press of a button, the system captures weight, dimensions, and barcode data instantly.

Best suited for:

  • Spot checks and QA stations.
  • Non-conveyable items.
  • Returns processing and outbound parcel validation.
  • Oversized pallet loads (with forklift-accessible platforms).

Freight & Pallet DWS Systems

For large-scale shipping and cargo environments, we offer heavy-duty DWS systems with gantry-mounted scanners, large platform scales, and RFID/barcode capture. These are essential in freight forwarding warehouses, airports, and bulk logistics hubs where dimensional weight matters for every load.

Core Technologies Powering AMRs

Sensor-Driven Performance

  • 3D laser/camera dimensioners for precision sizing.
  • In-motion or static weighing systems based on application.
  • Barcode and OCR scanning, capable of reading 1D, 2D, or text data.
  • High-speed data processing and software integration for real-time operations.

Optional modules include

  • Volumetric imaging for irregular-shaped items.
  • Cubescan technology for efficient packing and billing.
  • Inline sortation & rating, to automatically direct parcels post-scan.

Use Cases & Applications

Where DWS Makes the Difference

Courier & Parcel Hubs
Automate billing and sortation. Instantly detect under-declared parcels to recover revenue and reduce handling delays.

E-commerce & 3PL Fulfillment
Ensure outbound orders are correct, create shipping labels dynamically, and speed up returns processing with instant data capture.

Air Cargo & Freight Handling
Measure volumetric weight accurately, protect air freight margins, and optimize ULD load builds using real-time data.

Warehouse Receiving & Shipping
Catalog SKUs during inbound and validate weight/size for outbound loads, minimizing storage errors and shipping disputes.

Key Features & Benefits

Boost Speed and Efficiency

Each package is processed in under a second. Compared to 30–60 seconds of manual handling, this results in massive throughput gains and reduced labor cost.

Improve Accuracy & Reduce Errors

No more manual data entry or misread dimensions. DWS provides reliable, repeatable results—every package, every time.

Enable Automation and Integration

Your WMS or order system receives real-time weight, size, and ID data. This supports automatic label printing, sortation, and packaging decisions.

Enhance Customer Experience

Avoid surprises and disputes by capturing and storing accurate shipment records. Share verified weights, dimensions, and even photos for transparency.
