Many dimensioners on the market today use the same technology, but there the similarity ends. One European parcel express company put two solutions to the test and discovered a significant difference in both read rate and accuracy.

A leading parcel-express company recently put the new CSN950 MultiHead dimensioner to the test. The system was set up in the production line behind a competitor dimensioner for a head-to-head comparison. The comparison revealed two significant differences:
1. No rejects
The company was having problems with its in-place dimensioner not reading black and blue. The consequence for this carrier, which handles a lot of parcels with black and blue wrapping, 3.5% of all parcels were rejected and sent to a manual handling station, affecting sorter throughput and efficiency. During the test, the CSN950 MultiHead successfully measured every black and blue object that passed underneath. No rejects meant no need for inefficient manual handling.
2. Revenue recovery on 9% more objects
From a sample of 400,000 parcels, 9 percent were between 20 and 50 millimeters in height. CSN950 dimensioners carry a European legal-for-trade height approval of 20 millimeters. The CSN950 was able to recover additional revenue on that extra 9 percent, whereas the rival dimensioner could only measure items over 50 millimeters in height for legal-for-trade invoicing.
The bottom line? There are many dimensioners on the market today, but they aren't all the same. Put the CSN950 to the test and see the extra revenue it brings to your operation for yourself.
