METTLER TOLEDO has published a guide for buyers explaining dimensioning, weighing, and scanning solutions (DWS), and how deployment of an automated DWS solution can quickly yield significant return-on-investment (ROI). The accurate measuring capabilities from DWS solutions enable transport companies to invoice correctly for transport and maximize vehicle capacity and optimize line-haul.

METTLER TOLEDO, supplier of dimensioning, weighing and scanning (DWS) solutions to the transport and logistics industry, has published a free buyer's guide. The guide offers impartial advice on available dimensioning, weighing and scanning technology, system configurations, and what needs to be planned for when implementing new DWS equipment.

Among others, the guide covers topics, such as:
- How to select the right equipment by looking at existing processes
- How to calculate the total cost of ownership of new equipment
- How to integrate a DWS system into existing operations with minimum impact on operation

The guide offers practical, educational information to both experienced and first-time buyers of automatic DWS equipment. It is intended to present more comprehensive information than you find in sales brochures which tend to answer questions about "who?" and "what?" This guide aims to provide answers to "how?" and "why?"

Dimensioning, Weighing and Scanning solutions are used by parcel express companies to identify, weigh and measure the goods they transport. The equipment is often integrated into highly automated sorting environments and uses sophisticated laser technology and data-management software. There is a lot to plan for in terms of cost, solutions, implementation and uptime. This guide provides a good overview of all that needs to be considered before, during and after investment.
