What is Cubing?
If you’re unfamiliar with the term “cubing,” you might better recognize package dimensioning or parcel measurements. Cubing is the same, as it refers to measuring a package’s length, width, and height and multiplying these factors to determine its cubic volume. This information is essential in logistics and shipping, as carriers often use dimensional (DIM) weight, which is calculated using these measurements, to determine shipping costs.
Systems to Make Cubing Simpler
Cubing is an easy enough concept to wrap your mind around. However, what isn’t so easy to comprehend is how to implement a successful parcel measurement strategy for all your incoming and outgoing shipments. Fortunately, Dimensional Weighing has the answer: our cubing and weighing systems! Our primary equipment offerings include:
- Static Dimensioning Systems – Our smaller scales and weighing systems are ideal for simple shipping applications involving small parcels and inbound inventory processing.
- Dynamic/ In-Motion Dimensioning Systems – These specialized systems can be integrated directly into a facility’s conveyor system, scanning items of all sizes as they pass along the conveyor belt.
- Pallet and Large Freight Scanners – If you are measuring for oversized goods, our larger scanning technology simplifies package measurements.
Why Rely on Weighing Systems?
Of course, cubing equipment isn’t only good for acquiring a package’s final DIM weight. There are other benefits to using cubing and weighing systems from Dimensional Weighing. These benefits entail:
