# Volume Measurement Systems for Parcels, Pallets and Long Goods *Find the measurement system for your process* Volume measurement systems at a glance: dimension parcels, pallets, long goods and master data. Find the MetriXFreight product line for your process. Canonical: https://metrilus.com/en/solutions Alternate (de): https://metrilus.com/de/loesungen --- Parcels on the conveyor, pallets at the dock, profiles six meters long: every measuring point in your warehouse has its own requirements. A system built to measure parcels at conveyor speed will not help you with bulky freight. And as soon as you bill by volumetric weight, you need legal-for-trade values: officially approved for billing instead of a tape measure. That is why MetriXFreight comes as several product lines on [one platform](/en/the-platform-metrixfreight). All of them measure camera-based in around 200 milliseconds, with no moving parts. They differ where your process demands it: object size, throughput and legal-for-trade approval. The guide below shows you which product line fits which process. All lines side by side on one page: [product overview as a PDF](/one-pagers/EN-Product-Overview.pdf). ## MetriXFreight S140 *Master data in a single step* Missing or wrong article master data slows down your WMS. With the S140 you capture dimensions, weight, photo and barcode in one step, with less than 5 mm mean deviation. Your warehouse planning runs on data you can trust.

The L13x product line measures each parcel in around 200 milliseconds and handles up to 1200 parcels per hour including scanning. Your process sets the pace, not the measurement. [Explore parcel dimensioning](https://metrilus.com/en/solutions/parcel-dimensioning-L13x) ## MetriXFreight L23x *Bill pallets legal-for-trade* In air and road freight you pay by volumetric weight, and estimated pallet dimensions cost margin. With the L23x you dimension pallets and bulky goods inside the running process, legal-for-trade as L235 under OIML with EU type examination and NTEP. Pallets wrapped in black foil are covered by the L33x product line. [Explore pallet dimensioning](https://metrilus.com/en/solutions/pallet-dimensioning-L23x) ## MetriXFreight L33x *Black foil, legal-for-trade* Black and glossy foil push many optical measurements to their limits, and then it is back to the tape measure. The L33x dimensions exactly these pallets automatically, with three 3D sensors in around 200 milliseconds. Your hardest freight no longer needs a detour.

The L63x dimensions objects up to 650 × 260 × 260 cm in a single pass with six 3D sensors. That gives your long goods reliable dimensions for planning and billing.

Captured once, you use it in receiving, in shipping and when billing your transports. ### Receiving Every shipment is dimensioned and photographed on arrival, and weighed with a connected scale. Your warehousing starts with real dimensions instead of figures from the delivery note. ### Shipping With exact dimensions you know the volumetric weight before the carrier measures. That reduces back charges and disputed invoices. ### Transportation Legal-for-trade values make your volumetric weight billing hold up. You plan cargo space with real dimensions and utilize your fleet better. ## These companies measure with MetriXFreight ## Measurement data where you need it *REST API, file or QR code* Whichever product line you choose, your measurement data arrives the same way. Every measurement goes via REST API, as a CSV, XLSX or PDF file or as a QR code straight into your WMS, TMS or ERP. Triggering happens automatically, by barcode or through the API. In [MetriXOne](https://one.metrilus.com), our cloud dashboard, you see all measurements of your systems in one place, with the photos of every measurement. You can try the test server right away, no installation needed.

Pallets are dimensioned by the L23x, pallets wrapped in black foil by the L33x. Long goods up to 6.5 meters are handled by the L63x, and article master data is captured by the S140. For mixed processes we advise you based on your object and volume data. ### What is a DWS system? DWS stands for dimensioning, weighing, scanning: one system captures dimensions, weight and barcode in a single step. MetriXFreight adds photos as proof of condition. Manual data entry and transfer errors disappear. ### What does legal-for-trade mean, and when do I need it? Legal-for-trade means the system is officially approved for billing by dimensions and weight, under OIML with EU type examination. As soon as you charge customers by volumetric weight, you need this approval. The systems L135, L235, L335 and L635 provide it. ### How does the measurement data reach my WMS, TMS or ERP? Via REST API in real time, as a CSV, XLSX or PDF file, or as a QR code directly at the system. Triggering happens automatically, by barcode scan or through the API. A reporting module additionally evaluates your measurements. ### What is master data capture? Master data capture means recording dimensions, weight and a photo of every article once, cleanly, and storing them in your ERP or WMS. Slotting, packaging choice and freight calculation all run on this data. The S140 handles the capture in a single step. ### How fast do the systems measure? A measurement takes around 200 milliseconds. In the process you handle up to 1200 parcels per hour with the L13x, 300 to 600 pallets with the L23x to L63x and 750 objects with the S140, each including scanning. Dimensioning never limits your throughput. ### How much effort do operation and maintenance take? The systems work statically, with no moving parts and below 20 dB in operation. Remote maintenance is standard, and we roll out updates remotely. The support effort on your side stays low. ## A demo on your own process *The next step* Which product line fits your process is best answered with your own shipments.
