Mettler Toledo Cubetape portable dimensioning device

Mettler Toledo has developed Cubetape, a portable dimensioning device, for small to medium freight forwarding companies looking to include dimensioning in their procedures without investing in larger, more costly technology.

Cubetape is a compact, durable, handheld device that uses an in-built scanner to read a parcel’s barcode data, and a 3 m waterproof, tearproof tape to capture the dimensions. This information can then be stored for later use or sent on to a host application via Bluetooth. Due to the automatic nature of the device, the risk of manual errors is reduced throughout, making the process - from weighing through to dimensioning - more accurate.

The simple design of Cubetape means little operator training and maintenance is required. The device provides audible feedback throughout the data capturing process, ensuring the operator is coached through each stage, assisting to prevent errors and maximising uptime. Cubetape can be integrated with most common transport and logistics applications such as PCs, mobile PDA devices, scales and printers, allowing companies to start using the device straight away.
