3D-A1000 Dimensioning System
Compact 3D camera system that measures moving objects for automated logistics optimization.
Optimize packaging efficiency for cost and sustainability
For online retailers and fulfillment centers, selecting the right-sized box minimizes shipping costs, reduces the need for excess void fill materials, and supports sustainability goals by reducing material waste. Packaging optimization ensures every item fits securely, reducing the risk of damage and improving both sustainability and customer satisfaction. No one appreciates a small item in an oversized box with excess filler.
By capturing accurate dimensional data for each product – even irregularly shaped or deformable soft goods – automated systems can calculate the size and shape for the most space-efficient box or carton for every item. Whether guiding packers or feeding dimensional data to automated carton forming systems, right-size packaging saves money and helps teams pack faster and smarter.
Automate packaging optimization to save time, money, and materials
Manually measuring products and selecting the appropriate boxes can be slow, inconsistent, and costly, especially when dealing with non-cuboidal (irregular) shaped items like musical instruments, sports equipment, or luggage, which don’t fit standard box dimensions. Overpacking wastes materials and increases shipping fees, while inaccurate dimension data can lead to poor packaging decisions.
Automating the process with easy-to-use Cognex dimensioning technology improves accuracy and speeds up packing – helping your fulfillment operation run more efficiently.
Smart packaging starts with the right data
Cognex 3D dimensioning systems use advanced 3D and 2D imaging to quickly capture precise dimensional data from multiple items on an order tray – even for irregularly shaped goods, like sports equipment or tools. The system integrates seamlessly with automated packaging systems to recommend the perfect box size for every order.
Compact, easy to use, and quick to set up, these automated solutions for item handling help make the packing process more efficient and sustainable. Operators can process more orders in less time, reduce shipping material costs, and maintain a smooth workflow.
