Product information "zippcube® - Volume measuring device for master data acquisition"

Semi-automatic volume and weight recording for item master data

In mail order, e-commerce, logistics and warehouse operations, accurate item master data is essential for efficient storage, picking, packaging and shipping. The zippcube® volume measuring device records the dimensions of items — length, width and height — as well as their weight in one semi-automatic process. This creates a reliable basis for master data acquisition, master data validation and further master data analysis in ERP, WMS and dispatch systems.

With precise volume and weight data, companies can improve warehouse management, select suitable packaging, optimize storage space and calculate freight costs more accurately. The zippcube® helps to reduce manual input, avoid incorrect product data and make logistics processes faster and more transparent.

Volume measuring device for master data acquisition

The BOSCHE zippcube® volume scale is equipped with four laser-welded load cells for reliable weighing. A sturdy, flat scale frame makes it easy to place the objects to be measured. The weighing technology is designed to be as maintenance-free and wear-free as possible.

The semi-automatic data acquisition process takes only a few seconds. Two pairs of high-precision light curtains scan the objects without contact and determine their dimensions regardless of their shape. The included intuitive and configurable software displays all measurement data clearly at a glance. The recorded values can then be transferred to existing ERP, warehouse management and dispatch systems.

Precise volume measurement of cubic and non-cubic objects

Volume measurement is performed using a light grid measuring gate. The sturdy measuring gate is moved manually over the item to be measured and determines the smallest enclosing cuboid of the object. This makes it possible to measure not only cubic packages, but also irregularly shaped, transparent or foil-wrapped objects.

Object alignment is not required, and measurement is possible in both directions. The measurement results are available immediately after the measuring process. The determined volume and weight data can be saved as a CSV file or transferred to an SQL database.

Software and data transfer

The zippcube® software presents all measured values clearly and makes the recorded data available for further processing. Dimensions, volume and weight can be exported via CSV file or transferred to an SQL database. This enables the measured data to be integrated into existing ERP, WMS, merchandise management or shipping systems.

By providing accurate measurement data, the zippcube® supports the creation, correction and validation of product master data. This is particularly useful for companies that need reliable dimensions and weight values for shipping cost calculation, packaging optimization, warehouse planning or automated logistics processes.

Accessories for extended master data acquisition

The 3D volume measuring system can be expanded with useful accessories. A camera can be used to record product images for the master data. A barcode scanner enables the identification of items via barcode. A mobile table with an independent power supply turns the BOSCHE volume scale into a flexible workstation. For small and lightweight parts, an additional precision scale enables particularly accurate weighing.

A digital caliper can be used to determine small dimensions in the millimeter range. The caliper records measurement data with an accuracy of 0.01 mm and transmits it via Bluetooth at the push of a button. The precision scale is ideal for determining exact reference weights in counting systems. It provides high resolution with 1 g readability at a 6 kg weighing range. Any barcode scanner can be connected via USB for item identification.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions about zippcube®

The zippcube works with high-precision light grid sensors for non-contact dimensional measurement and four laser-welded precision load cells. The size measurement is performed with a resolution of 2 mm, while the length measurement offers an accuracy of 1 mm. The weight is measured to an accuracy of 10 g, and with an optional reference scale, even to an accuracy of 1 g. This makes the device suitable for precise master data capture in mail order.

The zippcube® can easily measure both cardboard- and film-wrapped objects, as well as non-cubic objects, regardless of their reflective properties. The recorded data is conveniently saved as a CSV file or transferred directly to your inventory management or warehouse management systems via SQL/REST API. This ensures seamless integration without media disruption.

Typical applications include parcel measurement with volume measurement, air freight inspection, calculation of freight and package dimensions, as well as the automated capture of geometric master data for warehouse management. The system supports logistics service providers, shipping centers, and companies with high goods turnover in determining and documenting relevant item dimensions.

With the included "VolumeScannerProfessional" software, you can visualize measured values, take product photos, and export data in common formats (CSV, SQL, REST). Operation is intuitive; hotkeys and individually configurable input fields ensure optimal adaptability. The system can be flexibly expanded via interfaces such as RS232 and USB.

Yes, accessories available include a high-resolution camera for documentation, precision scales for small parts, a digital caliper, and a mobile table system. A Bluetooth-enabled digital tape measure allows for the measurement of larger items. All add-ons are designed for precise and efficient digitization of goods.

The system is designed to be maintenance- and wear-free; calibrations can be performed using appropriate reference weights. The technology remains operational for a long time thanks to its robust construction and high-quality components. Regular software updates and video tutorials support operation and ongoing maintenance.

The three variants S, M and L cover a maximum of 450 × 400 × 350 mm, 840 × 640 × 500 mm and 1230 × 850 × 640 mm (L × B × H). This means both small parts and larger packages can be easily accommodated and safely measured and weighed.
