Pallet measurement involves the automatic or manual recording of the dimensions of pallets and the load units placed on them. It is used to determine length, width, height, and, if necessary, other geometric properties.

In logistics, pallet measurement is used to provide accurate data for warehousing, transportation planning, freight billing, and automated processes. Modern systems use, for example, 3D sensors, laser scanners, or camera technologies to capture pallets quickly and precisely. The data collected supports the efficient use of warehouse space, the secure management of material flows, and the optimization of logistics processes.

Practical example:
A pallet is automatically measured before being put into storage so that the warehouse management system can determine the appropriate storage location and update the transport data.
