Okay when you think “technology”-  a warehouse doesn’t exactly spring to mind.

Forklifts, boxes, people lifting heavy objects and perhaps delivery of items may all spring in there - but a company called ExpressCube has applied for and received a very interesting patent that will change the way many warehouses do business in the future.

The technology patent ExpressCube has developed is for dimensioning and weighing equipment that will completely eliminate charge backs and let warehouses operating at optimum capacities.

The ExpressCube counter top system is an economical cubing and weighing system designed to meet point of sale, factory shipping and logistic applications in a commercial environment.

The unit that has been developed can measure the dimensions of rectangular or square objects in inches or centimeters, weigh the object in pounds or kilograms, and calculate the dimensional weight based on user-defined cubing factors. Automating this feature will save many man-hours in labor for the measuring and calculating of housed items.
