Automated 3D volume measurement
08 September 2014
The new VOLUMEChd 3D volume measurement system from Vitronic precisely measures rectangular and irregularly shaped objects in the field of intralogistics and detects defects on boxes.

This makes it possible, for example, to automate invoicing, optimise the use of transport fleets and avoid warehouse technology malfunctions.
The system combines innovative laser and camera technology in a highly precise and reliable end-to-end solution. It can be used to measure packages up to 1000 x 1000 x 2500mm. The camera-based laser measurement makes it possible to reliably determine the volume of very small and extremely flat objects.
The system also detects defects on boxes, such as bulges and dents, on five object sides. This prevents malfunctioning of automated warehouse technology and reductions in throughput when storing boxes in automated high-bay warehouses, for example.
