Automated Logistics Sorting Machine Six-Sided Dws Equipment

A Six-Sided DWS (Dimensioning, Weighing, Scanning) System captures:

• Dimensions (length, width, height)

• Weight of each parcel

• Barcode/Label Information on all six sides of a parcel (top, bottom, front, back, left, and right)

This allows for 360° data capture, even when labels are not placed on the top surface.

Key Components

1. Six-Sided DWS Unit

   • Equipped with high-speed cameras and scanners on all six sides.

   • Integrated dimensioning sensors and digital scales.

   • Ensures accurate and complete data capture in real time.

2. Automated Sorting Machine

   • Uses conveyors, diverters, cross-belt or tilt-tray sorters to route parcels based on scanned data.

   • Sorts thousands of items per hour into designated destinations.

   • Controlled by a centralized system (PLC or industrial PC) for efficient sorting logic.

3. Control Software

   • Links parcel data with warehouse systems (WMS/TMS/ERP).

   • Offers real-time tracking, diagnostics, and reporting.

System Workflow

1. Parcels enter the conveyor system in bulk.

2. A singulator aligns them into a single stream.

3. Each parcel passes through the six-sided DWS unit:

   • Captures dimensions

   • Weighs the parcel

   • Scans and identifies barcode from any side

4. Control system analyzes the data and assigns a destination.

5. Parcel is automatically sorted into the correct chute, bin, or conveyor.

Advantages

• Complete data accuracy – Reads labels regardless of orientation.

• High-speed processing – Handles thousands of parcels per hour.

• Reduced manual handling – Increases productivity and lowers labor costs.

• Optimized shipping – Ensures correct freight charges based on accurate dimensioning and weight.

• Improved tracking – Real-time parcel visibility for logistics operations.
