What to Expect from the Samsung Connected Associate Webinar

From retail workers in stores to logistic drivers on the road and healthcare professionals in hospitals to technicians in the field, associates struggle to access the wealth of available information and communicate effectively with each other. Frontline workers far too often still rely on outdated technology and, therefore, outdated data.

Weighing and Scanning Large, Irregular-Shaped Items? Try the CubiScan 325

Posted September 28, 2023

Measuring large quantities of spatulas, machinery components, bolts, and apparel can be a challenge for order pickers and warehouse operators. Non-uniform shapes are hard to measure, and high turnover and rotating shift workers means you never get consistent measurements on your ever-changing library of SKUs. Inconsistency in measurement and process leads to unreliable master data, and inefficient downstream processes. Enter the Cubiscan 325, an automated object dimensioner and scale.

If you want to reduce inefficiencies in your supply chain, this machine is an excellent starting point. Master data collection, storage, carton selection, and pick and pack are much easier processes with the Cubiscan.

Accurate, Efficient Dimensioning with the CubiScan 325

The Cubiscan 325 eliminates the need for manual measuring and weighing by automating the dimensioning process, reducing physical strain on employees, limiting manual data entry errors, boosting overall productivity, and improving cost savings across every operational area.

Key Features of the CubiScan 325

Dimensional Accuracy
The Cubiscan 325 uses infrared light to collect product dimensions down to 1mm, ensuring that accurate data is used for inventory and shipping calculations. This reduces the possibility of costly mistakes in shipping and order fulfillment. This large format, automated imager and dimensioner accommodates SKUs up to 36′′ long, 24′′ wide, and 24” tall.

Cost Savings
With accurate product dimensions, shipping costs can be reduced. Accurate master data is fed to WMS and cartonization softwares to help packers pick the right box for an order. In turn, shippers ship less air and more product, reducing the overuse of packing materials to fill excess “air” in the box. This also reduces their overall parcel spend, because efficiently packed orders means shippers aren’t paying to ship extra air. The savings are particularly impactful for high-volume shippers, where efficiencies and proper packing are spread across thousands of shipments. Invest in a dimensioner, because the long-term cost savings from reduced errors, improved efficiency, and optimized storage are significant.

Inventory Accuracy & Enhanced Order Picking
Accurate product dimensions aid in inventory tracking. This is especially useful in industries with a large number of SKUs, where inventory discrepancies can be expensive and time-consuming to resolve. The Cubiscan 325 also integrates with existing order picking systems, assisting employees in efficiently and accurately selecting the right products, reducing order fulfillment errors.

Seamless Integration with WMS & ERP
The Cubiscan 325 can be seamlessly integrated with Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, reducing manual data entry errors, streamlining the flow of information, and improving overall database quality for irregular and complex SKUs in the warehouse.

Improved Warehouse Space Utilization
By accurately measuring product sizes, operations managers can optimize warehouse storage space and layout, reducing wasted space and improving overall efficiency.

Data Analytics
The Cubiscan 325 data can be used to perform analytics and gain insights into product trends, demand forecasting, and process optimization.

Ensured Compliance
For industries with specific regulations governing accurate product measurement and labeling, the Cubiscan 325 assists operations managers in ensuring regulatory compliance as well.

Faster Order Processing
Order processing becomes faster and more efficient with the Cubiscan 325’s automation capabilities, which can lead to faster order fulfillment and happier customers.

Incorporating a CubiScan 325 into your workflow can help streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve overall productivity and accuracy, making it a valuable addition for operations managers across a wide range of industries. See how it works below.
