New in freight forwarding halls: Volume measurement in the image

19.01.2023

With APF video+ 2.0, AMETRAS offers a new feature "measuring in the image" and thus paves the way for largely automated volume recording of palletised goods in freight forwarding companies.


A simple click is all it takes

Thanks to AMETRAS, the tedious measuring of palletised goods in freight forwarding halls is a thing of the past. Gone are the days when employees had to record the dimensions with a metre rule. By simply clicking on the pallet or the package, these are now quickly and intuitively determined and automatically converted into volume. The data is stored and can be retrieved at any time via the barcode. Subsequent measurement checks are no longer necessary.


No special cameras required

The new feature measuring in the image was developed with version 2.0 of the AMETRAS video solution APF video+ and convinces with another advantage: no special cameras are required. This means that the measurement can take place at any location in the hall. Another advantage is that the solution also reduces the workload on personnel, as forwarding agents no longer have to be available for measuring.


Can also be used as a stand-alone solution

Measuring in the image from the AMETRAS solution portfolio contributes significantly to the automation of processes in freight forwarding halls and can be used as a feature within the video solution APF video+, but also as a stand-alone solution.
