Glossary

CubiScan from AKL-tec is used to determine exact master data for space requirements planning. Cartons and all types of objects are measured according to customer requirements. Master data includes information about the product, supplier, and customer. It is often used for internal optimization and supports the successful use of warehouse management software.

Material flow refers to processes and chains of events involved in the extraction, processing, and distribution of goods within defined production, storage, and transport areas.

Technology for capturing data using mobile devices such as handheld scanners or tablets. AKL-tec's dimension measuring systems can be integrated into MDE workflows.

Multidimensional Measuring Device

The law stipulates that measuring devices subject to statutory calibration must not be used without calibration. The exact specifications are regulated in calibration regulations and guidelines. Calibration may only be carried out in Germany by state-approved testing laboratories. The Measurement and Calibration Act must be observed by all users of measuring instruments who use measuring instruments in commercial or official transactions or measuring instruments in the public interest. The same applies to the use of measured values.

The smallest change in a measured variable that a measuring system can detect. The higher the resolution, the more precise the measurement.

Thanks to a measuring scale embedded in the floor, not only the length, width, and height of the cargo can be determined, but also its weight.

Compliance with the European Measuring Instruments Directive (MID). MID-compliant measuring systems are approved for use in commercial transactions if the measured values are used for billing purposes.

Portable devices for recording the dimensions and weights of freight items directly at the point of use, increasing flexibility and efficiency in logistics.

System with multiple independent weighing zones that can weigh several objects simultaneously or determine the weight of a single object more precisely.

A multidimensional measuring device such as Apache or CubiScan is used to determine the length, width, and height of the smallest box that can enclose the item being measured.
