New systems for Intralogistics

Bizerba at the “transport logistic” 2011 in Munich (hall A5, booth 418)

Balingen, May 17th 2011 – At the “transport logistic” 2011 in Munich, the international exhibition for logistics, mobility, IT and Supply-Chain-Management, Bizerba is going to present from 10th to 13th May system solutions that enable companies to efficiently optimise processes from goods receipt to dispatch (hall A5, booth 418).

New static dimensioning, weighing and identification system

With the new system solution DWS 510 employees of courier-, express- and packet services can handle the processes dimensioning, weighing and identification data at the push of a button. The system consists of a static scale, a volume-measurement-system (VMS) and a hand-held scanner to detect barcode information. The product is identified on a conveyor line by a barcode. It is then weighed on the static scale. In parallel to this, the VMS measures the height, width and length of the package and calculates the volume of these values. The system is especially designed for small and medium throughputs of up to 500 parcels per hour. It´s legal-for-trade approved (OIML and MID).

Successfully implemented in European parcel and express delivery services: the DWS system for the automatic determination of weight and volume

In the logistics sector it is of growing importance to calculate shipping costs not only according to weight but also according to volume weight. As for the calculation of the transport costs, the optimum utilisation of space in transport vehicles or the subsequent fast determination of the suitable storage location for temporary storage. Bizerba combines the corresponding processes - dimensioning, weighing and scanning (DWS) - in an innovative system that has already been successfully implemented in European parcel and express delivery services.

At the beginning a barcode scanner identifies the product on the conveyor line. The Bizerba CWL-B4.1 scales subsequently weigh it within the dynamic operation. A volume measuring device then determines the height, width and length of the packaging. Using these values the volume can be calculated. “All determined data will be submitted to the subordinate host system. Here the data is stored in a database and at the same time returned to the GLM-L box labeller. This device then applies the label with the volume and weight data”, explains Dieter Conzelmann, Director Industry Solutions at Bizerba. As an option the labelling device involves an RFID unit integrated into the printer. On the transponder of the Smart Labels exact data on the product or the delivery can be stored. This enables an ideal traceability. Suitable Smart Labels are available at the Bizerba label factory in Bochum.
