The modern freight registration includes the optimization of storage and shipping. Informations about weight and dimensions of packages get more important because of rising costs for transport fuels.
The volume and weight measuring system VGM is used to determine dimensions and weights of packages.
A high-quality light curtain system provides an exact parameterization. This scans the packages and determines during weighing the associated volume and resulting volume weight. The measured data (Volume - Weight - Volume weight) simplify the transportation planning and improve spatial use of transport vehicles.
At the same time packaging, warehouse and distribution planning can be optimized.
Through a modular system different sizes are easy to implement. As a transport conveyor belts or runways can be used.
The collected data can be transferred to a higher level computer system.
