Our volume measurement system measures parcels extremely precisely to determine the box volume within seconds. Additional turnover through recalculation is guaranteed.
Calibratable volume measurement system for determining the box volume at the infeed or sorter in a matter of seconds
APF ident+
APF ident+ for volume measurement measures parcels and consignments of goods extremely precisely to determine the box volume within seconds. Additional turnover through recalculation is guaranteed.
APF ident+ is available for all conveyor systems, also in a calibrated and certified version. With APF ident+, every depot, whether manual or automatic, can already identify a parcel at the entry. Just like at a supermarket checkout, the barcode is recognised, the volume is automatically determined and the label is read. This enables further processing of the address by means of OCR (optical character recognition) or ACS videocoding (video coding service) in a single operation.
APF ident+ increases billing accuracy, contributes to higher throughput rates in the CEP depot and maximises operational efficiency.

Features
The volume measurement system APF ident+ offers numerous features to make your everyday work more productive:
The "supermarket" principle – precise and quick data recording at the infeed
Supermarket checkouts support cashiers in determining the product price. APF ident+ works in the same way in the depot. The barcode is read and an acoustic or visual display signalises the success of the scanning. The whole recording only takes fractions of seconds.
- Extremely fast recording of barcodes
- Immediate success check of the scanning
- Top reading, three-page reading, five-page reading
Barcode recognition – reliable barcode reading and volume recording
The algorithm of APF ident+ ensures that barcodes of different types such as EAN, 2D or NVE are read and interpreted extremely fast. This also works when different barcodes are applied to one label.
- Reliable recognition of barcodes
- Data reconciliation possible with former systems via standard interface
- Reading of the most different barcode types such as Code 128, EAN, QR
- Girth calculation possible without any problems
- Precise volume recording
- Plain text display of a 2D barcode without delay
Further processing – by OCR recognition and ACS videocoding
The image quality is so high that a further processing via OCR recognition is usually possible without problems. A further processing via video coding is guaranteed.
- OCR recognition possible
- Transfer to ACS videocoding
- Data reconciliation possible with former systems via standard interface
Automatic hand recognition – for a comfortable workflow
The automatic hand recognition ensures a work process without loss of comfort or complex organisational instructions. This ensures an efficient and extremely fast processing.
- No waiting times in the process
- No separate organisational demands
- Reliable recognition
Video integration – enables interface-free tracking and post-processing
An integration into APF video+ is feasible without interfaces and adjustments. This makes both a seamless tracking and a qualified post-processing possible. Thus, the customer service cannot only inform the customer about the parcel but this one can also refer to subsequent billings and special sizes.
- No further user interface necessary
- All features of the APF video+ application are available
- Automatic storage of all images in the long-term archive
Integrated concept – the AMETRAS Plus
There is still more: Optimise your processes fully.
In connection with the sorting solution APF sort+, also sorting decisions can be made fully automatically. APF sort+ recognizes the type of the package (for example tires, brooms, snow shovel). The decision NC or standard is then managed on the basis of the box volume, the weight and the recognition of the goods.
In connection with the video solution APF video+, accompanying data are provided for each depot. If the package is measured once, this information is also available to other sites. Images can be transferred via e-mail in order to be able to make clear to customers and business partners that the parcel has the corresponding electronically measured size.
The standard integration in APF video+ ensures that no further interfaces become necessary for the further processing of data (scan evens, volume data or barcode recognition). A time-consuming synchronisation between different application systems is not needed.
Your service team is fully informative about the individual processes at any time.
Take advantage of the full process potential of your organisation and stay one step ahead of the competition.
