Weighing and Scanning Large, Irregular-Shaped Items? Try the CubiScan 325

Posted September 28, 2023

Measuring large quantities of spatulas, machinery components, bolts, and apparel can be a challenge for order pickers and warehouse operators. Non-uniform shapes are hard to measure, and high turnover and rotating shift workers means you never get consistent measurements on your ever-changing library of SKUs. Inconsistency in measurement and process leads to unreliable master data, and inefficient downstream processes. Enter the Cubiscan 325, an automated object dimensioner and scale.

If you want to reduce inefficiencies in your supply chain, this machine is an excellent starting point. Master data collection, storage, carton selection, and pick and pack are much easier processes with the Cubiscan.

Accurate, Efficient Dimensioning with the CubiScan 325

The Cubiscan 325 eliminates the need for manual measuring and weighing by automating the dimensioning process, reducing physical strain on employees, limiting manual data entry errors, boosting overall productivity, and improving cost savings across every operational area.

Key Features of the CubiScan 325

Dimensional Accuracy
The Cubiscan 325 uses infrared light to collect product dimensions down to 1mm, ensuring that accurate data is used for inventory and shipping calculations. This reduces the possibility of costly mistakes in shipping and order fulfillment. This large format, automated imager and dimensioner accommodates SKUs up to 36′′ long, 24′′ wide, and 24” tall.

Cost Savings
With accurate product dimensions, shipping costs can be reduced. Accurate master data is fed to WMS and cartonization softwares to help packers pick the right box for an order. In turn, shippers ship less air and more product, reducing the overuse of packing materials to fill excess “air” in the box. This also reduces their overall parcel spend, because efficiently packed orders means shippers aren’t paying to ship extra air. The savings are particularly impactful for high-volume shippers, where efficiencies and proper packing are spread across thousands of shipments. Invest in a dimensioner, because the long-term cost savings from reduced errors, improved efficiency, and optimized storage are significant.

Inventory Accuracy & Enhanced Order Picking
Accurate product dimensions aid in inventory tracking. This is especially useful in industries with a large number of SKUs, where inventory discrepancies can be expensive and time-consuming to resolve. The Cubiscan 325 also integrates with existing order picking systems, assisting employees in efficiently and accurately selecting the right products, reducing order fulfillment errors.

Seamless Integration with WMS & ERP
The Cubiscan 325 can be seamlessly integrated with Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, reducing manual data entry errors, streamlining the flow of information, and improving overall database quality for irregular and complex SKUs in the warehouse.

Improved Warehouse Space Utilization
By accurately measuring product sizes, operations managers can optimize warehouse storage space and layout, reducing wasted space and improving overall efficiency.

Data Analytics
The Cubiscan 325 data can be used to perform analytics and gain insights into product trends, demand forecasting, and process optimization.

Ensured Compliance
For industries with specific regulations governing accurate product measurement and labeling, the Cubiscan 325 assists operations managers in ensuring regulatory compliance as well.

Faster Order Processing
Order processing becomes faster and more efficient with the Cubiscan 325’s automation capabilities, which can lead to faster order fulfillment and happier customers.

For a detailed list of capabilities, download the Cubiscan 325 spec sheet.

The RPe Series Printers from Honeywell are Rugged, Versatile, and Lightweight

Posted August 25, 2022
rpe series mobile printers

Today, we’re covering the RP2e and RP4e Series of industrial mobile receipt printers from Honeywell.

Look no farther than the RPe Series if you need an extremely durable and dependable mobile receipt printer for route accounting, direct retail delivery, citation printing, auto rental return receipts, and other similar applications.

How Durable are the RPe Series Printers?

The RPe Series mobile printers are designed to withstand the worst conditions imaginable, as seen by their extensive temperature range and IP54 classification, which protects against the entrance of dust and moisture. Mobile printers are subjected to a variety of forms of routine abuse, some of the most common of which are repeated drops, vibration, and exposure to dust and water.

These arduous conditions are no match for the RPe printers, which are built to resist them and provide you with years of reliable thermal receipt and label printing. Both the RP2e and RP4e rugged printers endure drops to concrete, exposure to dust and water, and continuous high volume printing throughout the day with a battery life that can last an entire shift.

How is the Battery Charge of the RP2e and/or RP4e?

Speaking of battery life, all models include a rechargeable battery that can be charged either inside or outside the printer. This battery was made to last most of an entire field worker’s shift for the majority of possible applications. The RP2 has a 4 hour charge, while the RP4e has a max charge around 7 hours. It’s also possible to change the battery in a high-discharge current lithium-ion cell battery without having to reset the printer or lose communication.

The latest RPe printers can operate without a battery for up to one hundred and twenty seconds (depending on whether or not it uses wireless connections) without dropping its connection or requiring a restart.

In addition to long battery life and hot swapping convenience, your field workers will also have no trouble handling the printer easily over the course of a busy workday, thanks to its lightweight construction and ergonomic layout. Weighing in at just 2.2 pounds or lighter depending on the model, and a very compact 6″ x 4″ x 3″ size – it’s incredibly easy to handle Honeywell’s latest mobile printer.

honeywell rpe series printers

What are the Printing Capabilities of the RPe Series Printers?

The RP2e / RP4e printers are optimized to print labels and receipts continuously throughout the day at a rate of up to five inches per second.

The printer has a large media capacity and can accommodate labels with or without a liner. Additionally, it has the ability to detect gaps between labels as well as black lines on the top or bottom of the media.

Each version of the RPe Series is capable of printing a variety of print widths, and the RPe Series itself comes in a variety of print widths to accommodate your specific need.

A battery eliminator option is offered for use in situations in which the printer will be permanently installed in a vehicle and connected to a power source. The printer is also capable of monitoring its own health and providing analytics pertaining to the age of the battery, the quality of the printhead, and any odd environmental circumstances that the printer may have been exposed to. This enables you to manage your whole fleet of printers and ensures that you have the highest possible uptime.

The Operational Intelligence solution offers insights to assist with the management, tracking, and optimization of printer assets, which enables preemptive repair and replacement.

Comparing the RP2e vs. the RP4e Printer

The main difference is size, with the RP2e mobile printer being a slightly lighter and compact version. The RP4e mobile printer is just a bit larger and heavier, but allows for slightly larger media rolls and receipt sizes.
