FREIGHT CHECK POINT FCP 3200

TURN KEY SOLUTION for freight forwarding companies

The "Freight Check Point 3200" is specially designed for use in modern freight companies and distribution centers. With its modular structure it automatically measures volume, dimensions and weight of pallets and other goods.

Freight Check Point 3200 combines all the features needed for automatization of processes in the logistics area:

• Volume measurement of loaded pallets and bulky goods
• Dynamic weight measurement
• Information output via shipment label including 2-D-Code (PDF-Code)
• Operation control (e.g. tow-chain conveyor)
• Data communication between warehouse / sorting area and administrative host computer

Collection of real
shipment data

The collection of "real" data from shipping units gives the freight forwarding company valuable information concerning the structure of its shipments.

• volume
• dimensions (length / width / height)
• registration of bulky and special goods
• information on excess weight and excess dimensions
• real shipment weight
• shipment number registration
• control of pool pallets and containers

This information can in turn be used for calculation and control of transport costs.

capacity

The Freight Check Point´s high capacity and versatility lead to improved operational quality and security.

Volume
measurement

Volume and dimensions are measured using two high-resolution SICK LMS 200 laser scanners. With the sensors being mounted overhead, shipments with excess width or length can also be measured.

High reliability

The robust design of the Freight Check Point 3200 and its components ensure high reliability.

Pool pallet control

Using Freight Check Point 3200 enables the forwarder to carry out control and accounting of pool pallets and other pool containers.

Freight capacity
control

The shipment data obtained from the Freight Check Point 3200 serves the freight forwarder as a base for improved capacity planning and control.

Hardware and
network
compatibility

The measurement data from each shipping unit is sent to the host computer via the local network.

Freight Check Point 3200 is compatible with all hardware and network platforms (eg. DOS / UNIX / AS400 / Novell / TCP-IP etc.).

Integration into
existing systems

The Freight Check Point 3200 and its modules can also be integrated into existing warehouses and sorting systems.

Improvement of
quality standards

The clear and unequivocal shipping label generated at the Freight Check Point 3200 improves the quality of the cross dock operation. Time consuming search for shipping units and loading errors at the dock door are minimized.
