Dynamic volume measurement of parcels + pallet measurement + intelligent luggage measuring machine

In the international logistics industry, especially in the field of air freight, correctly measuring the volume of goods is a very important task. This mainly involves two aspects: cost calculation and space planning. Therefore, measuring the volume of goods quickly and accurately is the key to improving efficiency.

Why measure volume

Billing basis: Air freight companies usually calculate freight based on volume weight and actual weight. Volume weight is calculated based on the size of the space occupied by the cargo rather than the actual weight, because light and large cargo will take up valuable aircraft space. If charged according to the actual weight, it will not effectively reflect the transportation cost. Therefore, accurate measurement of volume is the key to ensure fair billing.

Space optimization: Knowing the volume of each piece of cargo helps logistics planners optimize cargo loading plans, maximize the use of aircraft cargo space, and reduce air freight costs. This is especially important for airlines because aircraft have limited load and space.

Safety and compliance: Ensure that the cargo meets aviation safety and transportation standards. Accurate measurement of volume can help assess whether the cargo is suitable for transportation by a certain aviation tool while complying with international transportation regulations.

Yifang Technology leads the market share of volume measurement equipment

Shenzhen Yifang Technology Co., Ltd. was established in 2015. It is a technology-innovative enterprise. It has been recognized as a national high-tech enterprise in 2018 and a member of the honorary National Technology Standard Innovation Base (Civil Aviation) in 2023. Its independently developed Goodscan series of measurement products are divided into five major sections: 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500, which can cover small goods, medium goods, large goods, and super-large goods, multi-faceted scanning equipment, intelligent sorting equipment, and pile measurement. In the field of aviation and airports, the products are widely used in China Southern Airlines, Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, Shenzhen Bao'an Airport, Arxan Airport, Chifeng Airport, etc.

Baggage volume measurement

In response to the "three-exceed" baggage control regulations, Chifeng and Arxan Airports have launched Yifang Technology's "baggage intelligent measuring machine". This measuring machine can quickly measure the volume and weight of passenger luggage, and intelligently match the luggage limit requirements of different airlines and different cabins. Passengers only need to place their luggage on the luggage intelligent measuring machine to quickly determine whether the carry-on luggage exceeds the limit.

GS210M dynamic volume measurement

China Southern Airlines International Logistics Department handles a lot of goods on a daily basis, and the overall operating efficiency is low. In addition, there are the following problems: large cargo volume, irregular cargo volume is difficult to measure, weight collection efficiency is low, manual data entry speed is slow, and overall operating efficiency is slow. According to the situation of China Southern Airlines warehouse, Yifang Technology Team designed the GS210M dynamic measurement solution, with a measurement range of 10*10*10-100*100*90cm (customizable), millimeter-level accuracy, and completes measurement, weighing, code scanning, and photography in one step. The back-end is connected to the security inspection machine, and the operation is fully automated.

Large pallet Dynamic volume measurement of cargo

In the cargo terminal of Shenzhen Airport, there are many pallet cargoes that need to be accurately measured and weighed. According to the warehouse situation, the Yifang Technology team designed the GS300 pallet large cargo dynamic measurement solution, with a measurement range of 1.5*1.5*2m (customizable) and a weighing capacity of 3T (customizable). It can complete measurement, weighing, code scanning, and photo taking in one step, and the back-end is connected to the security inspection machine for fully automated operation.

Effect estimation before and after launch

Before launch: It is difficult to collect volume data for irregular cargo. The volume and weight information are collected in two steps. The data is manually entered into the system, and it takes 30s for a single piece of cargo. If an error occurs, sometimes people will blame each other and the source cannot be traced.

After launch: The volume and weight of regular/irregular cargo can be collected with one click, and the data can be directly connected to the system. A barcode containing data can also be generated. The whole process takes only 2s, with a small chance of error, and problems can be accurately traced.

For example, to complete the data collection and system entry of 600 pieces of goods, it would take 5 hours and 2 people before the equipment was put into use. After the equipment was put into use and directly connected to the assembly line, it is estimated that it will only take 20 minutes to automatically complete all data collection and system entry, which can not only reduce the time by about 90%, but also free up more manpower.
