iDimension LTL
The iDimension LTL is ideal for LTL carriers and companies with a high percentage of product shipped via pallet or crate, the iDimension LTL removes the potential for human error when taking measurements. The extra labor of manually determining dimensions is eliminated by accurately capturing freight dimensions in less than two seconds. The iDimension LTL uses advanced sensing technology to accurately determine the cubic dimensions of freight, helping ensure freight code compliance is being recorded and declared. The iDimension LTL is a network device with a web service interface, providing simple integration using configurable capture definitions through HTTP requests, status checking and XML parsing. In other words, Rice Lake has designed this product to easily transfer images and dimensions to your network. The iDimension LTL can be installed in one day. Installation technicians will test the interface and train personnel how to use, configure and calibrate the system. With no moving parts and a solid-state design, the iDimension LTL can easily integrate into a typical LTL environment. Its rugged computer and industrial electrical components can withstand both the hot and cold extremes of shipping docks. Sensors and cameras are protected from accidental freight impact. The iDimension LTL harnesses the fastest processing in the industry. Its advanced imaging technology dimensions LTL freight at a rate of 1-2 seconds within 0.5-inch Legal for Trade accuracy. An LED light kit reflects a light grid on the floor, eliminating the need to paint, etch or tape the dimensioning zone, and quickly assists forklift drivers.
iDimension LTL Features
Infrared Camera Sensors For Accurate Dimensional Scanning
The iDimension LTL System incorporates infrared camera sensors for capturing dimensional measurements. The four camera sensors can measure up to 8′ x 8′ x 5′ maximum. The iDimension LTL harnesses the fastest processing in the industry. Its advanced imaging technology dimensions LTL freight at a rate of 1-2 seconds within 0.5-inch Legal for Trade accuracy. With an optional software license the iDimension LTL can measure freight with fork-trucks using stop-n-go license. Most surfaces are captured, but transparent, translucent, and glossy surfaces may provide a variance. An optional target zone amber light kit also increases performance of the system to accurately place the pallet in the correct location every time.
Integrated Precision Weighing Instruments
The iDimension LTL dimensional scanning system can be integrated with a summit 3000 floor scale with four NTEP Certified alloy steel shear-beam load cells, top access junction box, and adjustable polyurethane rubber feet. Our Summit 3000 floor scale is an economical choice for a broad range of industrial weighing tasks, with a durable low-profile deck that fits well into many material handling environments. This Legal for Trade scale also features threaded eyebolt holes for easy lifting from the center of the deck.
Dimensional Scanning Data Collection Interface
Further automate capturing dimensions and weights with the iDimension LTL by incorporating data collection devices like handheld scanners and mobile computers from Zebra, Honeywell, or Cognex. Using the QubeVue desktop or iDimension SS, you can capture SKU’s, LPN’s, and other important material handling information. This information can then be imported via .csv into your ERP system, or using the web services interface can be automatically entered into your existing WMS, TMS, or ERP system. With the web services interface the dimension and weight data can be displayed with-in your existing software interface or terminal emulation application leading to faster implementation time and user familiarity with your existing software systems.
High Resolution Camera Integration
Optional network cameras can be added to the iDimension LTL system. The iDimension PLTL is designed to easily transfer dimensions, weight and images to a network, simplifying claims processes. Built with a web server interface, iDimension LTL offers simple integration using configurable capture definitions through HTTP requests, status checking and XML parsing. The iDimension LTL optional high-resolution camera quickly captures images of freight condition at time of shipment. Wide angle POE network color camera with 3-axis camera angle adjustment. IP24 rating. Standard 2688 x 1606 pixels @ 751kb standard output in .jpeg format. Configurable for time and date, scan ID, system serial #, dimensions and dimensional indicators
No On-Site Maintenance or Calibration Required
The iDimension LTL dimensional weighing scanner does not require expensive on-site maintenance or calibration. All essential services can be done through remote access support, with-out requiring a Walz Label and Mailing Systems technician to be on-site. This feature combined with affordable replacement parts makes the LTL one of the most cost effective systems to implement. If you require annual or quarterly calibrations, Walz Scale can provide weight kits, or we can get you in contact with a local scale dealer in your geographic location.
Label Printer Integration
During the data collection process using the LTL dimensional weighing system, you can also integrate with many makes and models of thermal label printers to print product details including weight, length, width, and height. Taking it a step further you can automatically apply a label using a print and apply label applicator. These labels can be used later in your material handling process to capture dimensions and weights using barcode scanners, or to trigger business decisions made by staff members.
