iDimension® Plus – System for quick dimensioning of parcels, envelopes and objects

iDimension® Plus is the ideal solution for speeding up the workflow in intralogistics processes.

The iDimension® Plus is designed to quickly and accurately measure the volume of packages, envelopes and objects handled by hand, sharing the data in real time with the company’s computer system.

It can measure any package or object, even those without packaging, in less than a second, displaying the data and images on the 7-inch touch screen display provided. With iDimension® Plus the operator has everything under control.

WAREHOUSE SPACE OPTIMISING

One of our clients have a number of these dimensioners, linked with a 3590 weight indicator and 30kg platform scale and we are pulling in the dimensions into the indicator in bespoke fields, scanning the box barcode and sending dimensions, weight and product ID directly into the client’s WMS for incoming products to ensure they can optimise their warehouse space.

TOP-OF-THE-LINE CAMERAS AND SENSORS

  • iDimension® Plus combines the highest quality 3D imaging technologies with specific algorithms specially developed by Rice Lake to quickly and accurately read the dimensions of any object, even irregularly shaped ones.
  • This feature makes iDimension® Plus the fastest static dimensioning system in its class.
  • These technologies also allow iDimension® Plus to read accurately without requiring special attention during positioning: this feature results in process optimisation and a considerable increase in shipments.
  • Thanks to the camera, iDimension® Plus records an aerial image of the measured object to ensure complete traceability, which is  indispensable during disputes over damaged parcels. Available in “4K” version for high resolution colour images (2880 x 2160 pixels).
  • Through XML API integration, the image can be shared with the company’s IT system, in .bmp or .jpg format.

FAQs

Q: Does iDimension Interface with shipping software programs?
A: The iDimension Series can integrate directly with any software application using it’s industrystandard open API. For a list of supported shipping and WMS applications refer to the Software Compatibility Chart at www.ricelake.com. When direct integration is not available, shipping and WMS systems can interface with the iDimension Series using provided desktop applications, “Desktop App” or “iDim SS”.

Q: How do I connect my iDimension to a PC?

Q: What is an API?
A: API stands for Application Programming Interface. An API is a set of definitions and protocols that allow technology products, systems and applications to  communicate with each other. The iDimension API is simple, easy to use, and provides real-time access to dimensions, weight and image data. This however is not always necessary if the client wishes to communicate directly with their in-house system / WMS.

Q: Does iDimension provide a dimensional weight?
A: The iDimension Series provides certified dimensions of an object. That dimensional data can then be used by shipping applications to calculate the dimensional weight of the object.

Q: What is an irregular shape?
A: An irregular shape is anything that is not packed in a carton. iDimension is one of the few dimensioning systems that accurately measure an irregular shape with NTEP Certification at 10 mm accuracy.

Q: How do I calibrate the iDimension Series?
A: A calibration tool is provided with each product. Simply place the item under iDimension and calibrate using the embedded firmware. It is a 3 step process that is easily accessible from the main screen.
