Scanatrax Static Dimensioning System

Fast and accurate pallet and cargo dimensioning

Scanatrax is a static pallet and cargo dimensioning system that delivers fast, accurate and reliable results, with full after‑sales support. Atrax customers report revenue increases of around ten percent when they start charging according to actual measured freight volume using the Scanatrax dimensioning solution.

Removing hand measurement and guesswork makes it fast and easy to uncover hidden profit, adding directly to bottom‑line performance. The payback period can be a few months – or even weeks – for high‑volume operations. That’s why major express parcel and air cargo hubs across the Middle East, Asia and Oceania use and trust Scanatrax.

Unless your business is accurately measuring freight volumes, you’re leaving money on the table.

Features and Benefits

Smallest Footprint

A single-post mount maximises clear space for forklift access. The scanner can also be mounted on existing construction columns or suspended from the roof if these are mechanically robust. The scanning arm can park in a pre-selected position between scans to give maximum clearance for fork lift operations.

Smartest Laser Technology

Two rotating lasers create a 360-degree view of the object, yielding accurate dimensions and volume in two to four seconds, even for irregularly shaped items. Scanatrax rotating lasers are more accurate with fewer errors compared to fixed-track or fixed scan head systems. Rotating lasers scan objects from all sides at 90 degrees, where fixed-track systems must scan the far sides of objects on a sharp angle.

Scan Outsize Objects

To scan larger objects, the Scanatrax can simply be supplied with a longer beam. This is superior to fixed-track or fixed scan head systems, which can only measure objects that fit within a small defined area.

Entry-Level Pricing Option

Save money by choosing a single rotating laser. A single-laser scan takes approximately three or four seconds longer than a two-laser scan. Add a second laser any time for more speed and higher throughput.

Proven Reliability

Engineered to last and proven internationally in the most demanding industries. Controls and electrics are mounted at ground level for easy servicing. Faults are rare – the laser heads simply rotate within a sealed bearing assembly, impervious to the environment and always synchronised. Scan heads are made by SICK of Germany, which manufactures over 50,000 scan heads annually and invests heavily in R & D.

Stand-Alone or Integrated

It’s fast and convenient to weigh and dimension at the same time – use our equipment or yours. Scanatrax can be supplied with various weigh scale, barcode reader and printer options. There are easy interface options with your existing equipment, including customised interfaces with most host systems (RS232, RS485, Ethernet (TCP/IP), Web API, SQL Server, XML file exchange, etc).

Users Love It

No trouble with matte, shiny, or other ‘uncooperative’ surfaces. The scanner swings neatly out of the way between scans, reducing the chance of being forklifts impact compared to fixed-track systems. Intuitive touchscreen controls.
