Volume and Weight Measurement System

Volumetric Weighing System

Model: VWMS-SA-01

Introducing, first ever in market, the weighing scale based Volume and Weight Measurement System from WSI.

Measuring the box is very basic and vital requirement of courier, logistics and e-commerce companies.  In many cases, the weight of box is way less than the volume of the box. In these cases, courier and logistics companies incur huge losses as the volume is higher and weight is less.

So, to compensate these losses, these companies charge on volumetric weight. To calculate Volumetric weight, multiply Length, width and height of the box with a predefined value.

If the box weighs more than its volumetric weight, the system calculates the charges based on the actual weight of the box. Conversely, if the box weighs less than its volumetric weight, the system calculates the charges based on the volumetric weight.

When you measure a box manually with a scale or measuring tape, the process becomes quite a hassle and works only if you have one or two boxes. However, when you need to measure and weigh hundreds or thousands of boxes at the same time, the manual process consumes a lot of time, makes the task nearly impossible, and greatly increases the chances of human error.

We have developed the semi-automatic Volume and weight measurement system at WSI. This system is result of continuous R&D and endeavour to give new and best products to the market. This system measures the dimensions of the box placed on the platform of weighing scale. The Volume, volumetric weight and actual weight of the box along with dimentions is displayed on the LCD display. You just place the box in a corner of the weighing scale’s platform, and the system automatically completes the rest.

The system operates on three sensors placed along the platform of the weighing scale. To begin with, the first sensor measures the length, while the second sensor measures the width. Finally, the third sensor measures the height of the box. Once the system gathers these dimensions, it subsequently performs the calculation: (Length × Width × Height) × Factor = Volumetric Charges.

Since the system is installed on a weighing scale and interconnected with it, the weighing system also reads the actual weight of the box. The system displays the information on the LCD screen. The display shows the box volume, volumetric charges, and actual weight. Users can modify, change, or customize this information as per their requirements.

This system is available in different capacities and maximum dimensions of the box. The maximum size of the box suitable for particular model is predefined and it can measure the box under the permissible size only.  The accuracy of the measurement is 1 cm in each axis.

System with higher accuracy in measurement i.e. 1mm each axis is also available.
