LFT (Legal for Trade) can be for dimensioners or for scales. Customers require weighing and/or measuring devices that have a certificate of performance from NTEP (National Type Evaluation Program) This is required by law if the mailer is using the weights or measurement for commerce. Mailers often use the measurements taken for “revenue recovery” on postage. If the prepaid postage is less that is should be based on these measurements they can assess a difference in postage from their customer.

Non-Cuboidal Detection is a function of stereoscopic laser dimensioners that can determine if an object is a box or irregular shape like a bag. Sorters have the ability to use this information about a parcel to decide what output to sort it to.

A simple ROM quote is 1-2 days. An accurate quote based on your specific needs including an engineered drawing typically takes weeks to complete.
