What are the readers of weight and volume?
A device for automatic detection of the weight and volume of objects, also called balance weight volume, or weighs volumetric or cubing machine, allows in a simple, accurate and fast to acquire the characteristics of weight and size (height, width and depth ‘) of a given object.
Of irregular shaped objects, or otherwise different from regular, rectangular for the three dimensions is only detected the maximum extent, so you can ‘say that the measurement made is not’ the measurement of the object, but the box of minimum size able to contain it; hence the term cubing machine, just because the object is built around this “box”, this virtual box.
An essential feature of these devices and ‘the possibility’ of being connected to instruments for the collection of data, typically Personal Computers with appropriate software for the control, treatment and storage or transmission of data.
Another element that is needed in the process of weight measurement volume of objects e’l ‘identification of each detected object: it would be pointless to get a set of measures of various objects without knowing exactly which object is associated with each group of four numerical values (weight, height, width and depth ‘).
Typically, the method used to assign this identifier of the object and ‘to detect, with a manual or automatic reader, a bar code affixed to the object itself.
What users and ‘intended, and what are the benefits?
These devices are normally intended to resolve issues related to the transport and storage, if you are having to deal with a considerable amount ‘of heterogeneous objects of which it is necessary to know the characteristics of weight and size.
This need for accurate and reliable information and ‘more and more’ felt in the modern market, in which each company must try to improve their competitiveness ‘on all fronts and where the transport play a role are more and more’ important, with a volume of goods transported steadily increasing.
The benefits arising from ‘use of a weight-balance volume and the consequent availability’ of correct and accurate information are obvious and numerous, try below to describe some.
In virtue ‘of reliability‘ of dimensional measurements will be ‘can organize and make the most of the volumes in stock, without wasting space and without being in the‘ inability ‘to place packages that have measures “unexpected.”
Similarly, based on weight information accurate, will be ‘possible to arrange the load of a vehicle in order to exploit the maximum flow without risking to overcome it.
Couriers and transport professionals can verify weight and volume, and compare them with the statements made by the person making the shipment, so correcting ‘errors and making possible an accurate calculation of the tariffs, or finding out in advance of any packages are damaged, or the contents of which has been lost even partially.
Companies that ship via courier can take advantage of the knowledge of the exact data of weight and volume to know in advance the precise cost of the shipment; the same way as the goods delivered by a courier service to a company can ‘be controlled entry, minimizing the risk of error.
The benefits include also other aspects such as optimization of ‘packing, control and reduction of costs of transportation and storage, integration with storage systems with automatic or semi-automatic, quality’ general business processes.
In short, the contribution of scales weight / volume automatic and semi-automatic creation of a “master data” company can ‘be crucial.
In the information age, for the optimal management of a company with a modern structure, the exact knowledge of the weight and size of the objects that are moved into the production flow has a vital importance.
Two words about the producer …
The products that we offer here, and of which Digitex Srl following the import, installation, integration custom software with enterprise systems and service in Italy, are designed and manufactured in Japan by Vibra, corporate ‘group Shinko Denshi, always at the forefront in the creation of products for weighing and advanced sensors for the measurement of physical quantities, in this case the weight and volume.
Vibra and ‘the only company‘ in the world to use for some applications a special technology called “tuning-fork sensor”, and that ‘based on the vibrations emitted by a tuning fork.
The application piu ‘note of this proprietary technology Vibra / Shinko Denshi‘ was made to control the most ‘largest optical telescope in the world, Subaru, built on the summit of Mauna Kea, Hawaii National Astronomical Observatory Japan (for us fans of astronomy: “Subaru” are the Pleiades ..)
