Description

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

iDimension® Plus XL is a modular system consisting of a static dimensioning unit and a touch screen indicator, ideal for integrating the volume reading of parcels, cartons and envelopes into pre-shipment handling and sorting machines or lines, or for incoming checks.

The iDimension® Plus XL can measure any package or item, even unpackaged, in less than a second, displaying the data and images on the 7 inch touch screen display and sharing them in real time with the company’s computer system. With iDimension® Plus XL the operator always has the situation 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?
A: The iDimension Series is a networked device and connects via a wired Ethernet port. Dynamic and static IP configurations are supported.

Q: Does iDimension have an operator display or keypad?
A: Yes, the iDimension ships with an operator display. In addition, a number of software displays are available via any connected web browser.

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.

Q: What are the advantages of the iDimension Series?
A: iDimension is lightning quick, easy to use and with certified accuracy. It offers unbeatable throughput, simplified installation and painless interfacing.

Q: What is the warranty?
A: Two years from date of installation.

Q: What is the repair policy?
A: The iDimension Series is designed to support easy field replacement and hardware repairs are conducted at Positive Weighing Solutions repair facilities.

Q: How do I troubleshoot in the field?
A: Using a remote support program like TeamViewer®, Positive Weighing’s service team can quickly provide remote support from our facility without need for a field visit.

Q: Is it possible to integrate this type of dimensioner with Fedex /DPD or other carrier?
A: The iDimension series can easily be integrated with any web site that requires the dimensions by using the provided Desktop App. With the Desktop App installed, the user can press a hotkey to get the dimensions from the device and insert them into the web site’s fields.

Q: Do we need separate software for the receiving and shipping departments?
A: No, whatever data integration option you choose, from API to one of our apps, your receiving and shipping departments will enjoy a consistent integration experience.

Q: Can we upload the collected information to our software called SAP Business One or at least to an excel file?
A: The data extract feature of the dimensioner can be used for daily uploads of the collected information to a file server as a CSV file along with any images captured. Upload of the information to FTP are supported by the available iDimension Software Suite (iDim SS).
