          years. They are robust and proven; however, they are very expensive
          and difficult to install. That is why it is quite hard for the
          companies to employ laser dimensioners. They have to think twice and
          make sure that it is profitable. With the recent developments in 3D
          imaging, 3D cameras are getting more popular every day. They are
          used in mobile phones, cars, TVs. They also enable new features
          regarding dimensioning systems.
Moving Parts vs No Moving
            Parts
Laser dimensioners are basically line scanners. They
          scan objects line by line and stitch lines to each other in order to
          create 3D representations. Thus, either scanners or objects must be
          in motion. This fact increases the complexity of laser dimensioners.
          If you would like to measure dimensions of a static parcel, then you
          must have a motor moving the laser dimensioner back and forth.
          
On the other hand, 3D imager dimensioners take instant
          3D pictures of objects. There is no need for a moving part, hence
          reducing the cost of the system substantially. Plus, installation
          and calibration is a piece of cake compared to laser dimensioners.
          With BeeVision's patented technology, just mount with 4 screws and
          click to calibrate. You are done! No need to carefully align the
          dimensioner.
Laser vs 3D Imager

Laser sources are more expensive than 3D imaging
          equipment. They are harder to handle as they might be harmful to the
          human eye. 3D imagers are much more affordable and thus scalable. In
          the past, you would see only one laser dimensioner in a warehouse
          because they were quite expensive. 
With BeeVision, we
          are changing this fact and turning dimensioners to an affordable
          necessity in your warehouse. Dimensioner is becoming must-have
          equipment just like a computer in your facility. You can easily
          afford many and get ROI in a matter of weeks!
