Integration of Dimensioners to Your System
First concern during transition to automatic dimensioning is integration to existing software systems. The reason lies in the past. Laser based dimensioners do not possess strong processing capabilities and thus their only job is to provide cubing data. You would need an intermediate computer or software to get data, convert according to your needs and send to your database.
