MultiScan – what is it, and what’s it used for?

MultiScan is a device that collects morphological item data in a simple yet precise process. It can be either stationary or mobile. An item’s volume and weight can be captured, along with quantities, stacking data, EAN codes and more.

This makes recording new items quicker and easier and allows for continuous checks when packaging or design changes. Precisely calculating the space required in the warehouse or for shipping is also a breeze. MultiScan has a user interface (GUI) where the user can easily access various functions.

Master data is captured fully automatically and transmitted to a warehouse management system, making typos in the master data a thing of the past. MultiScan ensures efficient processing of items in the warehouse and creates the basis for smart automated processes.

MultiScan - the advantages

More flexibility

MultiScan can be used as a mobile or stationary unit, depending on your needs. It can be individually configured to suit your measuring process, automatically and hands-free.

Treading new paths

This compact solution delivers exact measurement results and comprehensive data. With a vast number of possible applications, MultiScan can measure a huge item range quickly and reliably.

MultiScan and KiSoft Genomix – smart partners

During the goods-in procedure, MultiScan can record the dimensions, volume and weight of the items in a matter of seconds. The KiSoft Genomix app supports this process by intuitively guiding the warehouse worker through a simple set of questions to record all relevant attributes. While doing so, the software includes all item hierarchies from single piece to the pack unit and logistical unit, providing all the relevant attributes that are essential for automated handling.

How does MultiScan play to its strengths in retail, fashion and e-commerce?

Our MultiScan comes with accessory packages for different sector-specific requirements, out of the box: The TEXpress module, for example, is especially useful for the fashion and retail sectors. It compresses textiles in order to determine their precise volumes. Camera systems for reliable photo documentation, such as for advanced picking applications, precisely record textiles and retail items.

The master data is collected in one single process adapted to the storage and shipping volume. In doing so, MultiScan ensures complete transparency and supports a seamless supply chain for multichannel or omnichannel applications. Numerous fashion and retail brands rely on our MultiScan.
