Honeywell and Stereolabs have collaborated to develop a mobile solution that can quickly and accurately measure the size, volume and weight of boxes and pallets in a distribution center to help increase delivery speed and lower shipping costs.
The solution combines Stereolabs’ stereoscopic cameras, which use a vision-based AI perception system to measure the dimensions of products, with Honeywell’s SwiftDecoder software, which captures barcode data and other written information, in one mobile solution. This will enable logistics operators to better plan truck loading, understand the number of vehicles needed to transport goods and trace the items being transported.
The new joint solution integrates the Stereolabs ZED stereoscopic camera and calculator with Honeywell’s SwiftDecoder barcode-decoding software to capture critical weight and dimension information. From there, data is then automatically uploaded to a central database, allowing a business to understand the volume and composition of the boxes and pallets transported in each trailer in real time so it can plan the most efficient and cost-effective way to transport, load or de-stock goods.
