Glossar

Dynamic measurement refers to the process of capturing the dimensions of packages or load units while they are in motion. It enables precise and automated dimensional measurement without interrupting the flow of materials.

Depending on the application, dynamic measurement uses 3D sensors, laser scanners, or camera-based measurement systems that deliver reliable measurement results even at high conveyor speeds. It is an essential component of modern automatic weight and dimension measurement (DWS) systems and helps companies efficiently track large volumes of shipments, automate processes, and ensure high data quality.

Practical example:

In a package distribution center, several thousand shipments per hour are automatically measured as they travel along the conveyor system without having to halt the material flow.
