The Resolution Range – Turning Accurate Dimensioning into Profit Margins

How the Resolution Dimensioning Range Increases Profit Margins in 3PL, Fulfilment and Warehousing 

In 3PL, fulfilment and warehousing, weights and dimensions are an important part of everyday operations. However, with fast throughout, measuring them accurately isn’t always straightforward. Products vary in size and shape, measurements can differ between human operators, and manual weighing and measuring takes time. Discrepancies between your records and those recorded by carriers can also result in unexpected charges. Resolution dimensioners reduce warehouse costs.

For businesses handling high volumes, these small issues can quickly add up through wasted time, inaccurate data and avoidable costs. 

The Resolution Dimensioning & Sortation range takes the guesswork out of the process, helping reduce warehouse costs. Resolution combines 3D imaging technology, smart automated weighing, and instant data logging into one rapid process, capturing accurate SKU master data and parcel measurements in under a second. 

Here is an in-depth guide to the Resolution lineup and how it helps 3PL, fulfilment and warehousing operators stop revenue leaks, optimise storage, and dramatically scale their daily throughput. 

Dimensioning Workstations: Instantly Capture SKU Master Data 

For rapid onboarding of new clients or checking parcels at goods-in, static dimensioners act as your frontline defence against messy master data and unrecorded inventory dimensions, to reduce warehouse costs. 

• Resolution Go: A fully self-contained static parcel measurement system that captures barcodes, dimensions, volume, weight, and images in less than a second. Desk-mounted or mounted on a robust battery-powered trolley, the Go is built around an easy-to-use 10-inch touchscreen terminal and requires no external PC or expensive on-going software licenses. 

• Resolution Go Express: A compact version of the Go, built specifically for flexible warehouse layouts, the Go Express can be desk or trolley mounted with an internal battery providing up to 25 hours of continuous operation. You can dimension on the go by taking it directly to incoming shipping containers or aisle pick to audit inventory on the fly. 

• Resolution Glide: Utilises a unique gliding light curtain design optimised to capture dimensional and volumetric data for highly irregular or oddly shaped items from 1cm up to 80cm. Again, the Glide is fully self-contained and requires no external PC or any on-going software licenses .

• Resolution Glide Express: A highly mobile, battery-powered variation of the Glide. It lets operators effortlessly capture tricky master data for unboxed retail stock, apparel bags, or industrial components at goods in or in the aisles. 

All of the above dimensioners provide incredibly fast throughput, ease of use and zero setup disruption. The machines can be set up and ready to go in less than 10 minutes. Legal-for-Trade MID and OIML certifications give you undisputed evidence during carrier chargeback arguments and seamless syncing to any WMS, SAP or ERP system is available with our powerful integrated Web Service API using Wi-Fi or Ethernet. 

Advanced Dimensioning Solutions: Semi-Dynamic & Heavy Freight 

When standard workflows are slowed with large variations of package shapes or large and bulky pallets, manual lifting slows everything down. 

• Resolution Pace: A clever semi-dynamic bench unit featuring an internal bidirectional conveyor belt. It serves as a simple, highly space-efficient sorter that automatically moves packages left or right. This bridges the gap between manual packing benches and automated sorting lanes. 

• Resolution Hawk: A highly popular solution for pallet and large item weigh dimensioning. Designed to eliminate pallet measuring bottlenecks, this freestanding 3.6m high multi-camera array dimensions any regular or irregular pallet in just 2 seconds with an incredible ±2 cm accuracy. The Hawk’s 3D sensors can measure black shrink-wrap, transparent film, or dark industrial plastics and interfaces directly with digital forklift scales, touchscreens, and barcode scanners so operators rarely need to step down from their forktrucks. 

Again, all Resolution machines offer seamless integration with any WMS, SAP or ERP system using our powerful integrated Web Service API over Wi-Fi or Ethernet.  

Enterprise Automation: In-Motion Scanning & High-Speed Sorting 

For fulfilment hubs handling thousands of mixed orders every hour, complete inline automation becomes an absolute necessity to reduce warehouse costs. 

• Resolution Flow: A top-tier dynamic inline system that processes up to 2,000 items per hour. It captures dimensions, checkweighs, scans barcodes, and snaps high-resolution images while items move rapidly down the conveyor line. 

• BeeSort Sortation: A modular, multidirectional roller ball sorting system designed to handle up to 4,000 parcels, polybags, or envelopes per hour. Its linear or loop layout can be expanded with more chutes as your client list grows. 

• BeeSort HS: A premium high-speed sorting system built with tilt-tray or cross-belt conveyor technology. It processes up to 14,000 packages an hour, automatically routing bags and boxes to their correct carrier lanes. 

• BeeVision 400: An automated print-and-apply labeller that integrates seamlessly with the Resolution Flow. It dynamically adjusts to print and verify precise label placement on packages of different heights. 

The above dimensioning and sortation solutions can connect to our optional cloud-based BeeHive intelligence platform that gives managers real-time dashboards of facility throughput, bottlenecks, and package counts. Beehive also hosts the captured high-resolution photos of every single package to prove its pristine condition before handover to couriers.  

Choosing the Right Resolution for Your Warehouse to Reduce Warehouse Costs

The right system depends on what you’re measuring, where the bottleneck is and how much automation your operation needs. 

Where AWM Can Help to Reduce Warehouse Costs

We understand that there isn’t one dimensioning or automation solution that works for every warehouse. The right approach depends on your products, volumes, available space and how your operation currently works. 

Whether you need to capture accurate dimensions at goods-in, measure awkward products, dimension pallets or automate a high-volume conveyor line, AWM can help you identify where dimensioning, weighing and automation can make the biggest difference to reduce warehouse costs. 

Capture more than parcel measurements. Gather better data, remove unnecessary manual steps and make your operation work more efficiently.
