Using our API, your system simply establishes a web service connection with the dimensioner, requests the data and receives a response. This can be implemented quickly using most programming languages.
Our devices can also operate as a client, automatically sending measurement results directly to your database if preferred.
Our team is always available to support integration and provide example code if required.
Yes. Initial remote setup and software support are included as standard. We do not charge additional fees for helping you configure the system during the initial installation stage.

Everything can be accessed directly through your browser. Therefore, no additional software installation is required.
Calibration is quick and straightforward.
Once the device is mounted and positioned above the measurement surface, simply connect to the system via the monitor or a web browser and follow the single-click calibration process described in the user manual.
No additional calibration equipment is required.
In most cases, only once during installation.
Recalibration is only required if the position or mounting height of the dimensioner changes.
Most Resolution models do not need mounting as they are fully self-contained and include either a column or portable trolley. If only the dimensioning camera is being purchased, mounting is very simple. The device includes four screw holes and a connection bracket, allowing it to be mounted to standard industrial profiles or support structures.
We can provide advice on positioning the camera and height requirements if you need.
Our quotation includes the Resolution hardware and all required software licences.
Licences are lifetime licences, so there are no ongoing software fees.
Items typically not included in the standard quote are:
We can supply or quote for these items if required.
