Manually determining the volume of parcels and pallets, airplane luggage, and air freight containers is relatively imprecise, difficult and sometimes not even possible. Rapid conveyor speeds, complex geometries and large dimensions require rapid automatic data processing. SICK offers several solutions with these requirements in mind so you can match the right solution to your specific application.

The VMS 420/520 Systems are standard solutions for determining parcel and freight volumes on conveyors. The VMS 420/520 are dual head systems certified “legal-for-trade” according to the standard OIML (International Organization for Legal Metrology). The VMS 410/510 are single headed systems designed for measuring the volumes of cuboidal objects or packages on flat conveyor belts. Another solution, the VMS 200, is a dual head system designed for determining volumes of extra large objects and is suitable for outdoor applications such as air freight, luggage, or pallets.

Whatever the shape or size, accurate volume measurement is the basis for calculating precise shipping charges and maximizing loads. Our VMS Systems meet the challenges of a global market, in which enterprises simply cannot afford inaccurate volume determination. With our VMS, you will be able to optimize parcel handling, improve measurement reliability and ultimately, reduce costs.
