Glossary

IATA-compliant refers to compliance with the standards, regulations, and guidelines of the International Air Transport Association (IATA). IATA compliance means that products, packaging, processes, or services comply with international air transport regulations and are therefore approved for safe transport by air. This includes, in particular, compliance with the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) for the transport of dangerous goods, packaging regulations, labeling requirements, and documentation standards. IATA-compliant solutions ensure compliance with global air freight regulations and enable smooth, regulatory-compliant shipping by air.

A technology that enables moving objects (e.g., on conveyor belts) to be measured precisely without stopping, which increases efficiency in logistics.

Concept of comprehensive digitization of industrial production and logistics processes. Dimension measurement systems are important components in Industry 4.0 environments.

A modern scanning laser scanner works according to the LiDAR principle (light detection and ranging). Laser light pulses are emitted and the beams reflected back from the object are evaluated using the light travel time method.

The initial scan of freight offers the advantage that the correct measurement and weight data are determined immediately. Thanks to the conformity assessment (calibration) of the APACHE, billing can even be carried out afterwards. Furthermore, damage is detected immediately and liability issues can be clarified promptly.

Technical connection between different systems that enables data exchange, e.g., between a dimensioning system and a warehouse management system.

Intralogistics encompasses all internal logistics processes involved in the transport, storage, and management of materials and goods within a company. It is a central component of modern businesses, as it ensures the smooth flow of goods between different departments and production steps.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the logistics industry by connecting physical objects to the Internet, enabling data to be collected, transmitted, and analyzed in real time. This technology provides unprecedented transparency and control across the entire supply chain.

Short form of irregularly shaped objects or packages (as opposed to regularly shaped or cuboid objects).
