Modular data scanning system
February 1st 2005

To help reduce losses arising from discrepancies in the weight and volume of parcels, Caljan Rite-Hite has come up with Cap Track.

Currently in operation at Parcelforce Worldwide, the Cap Track range is a modular data capture system for barcode scanning, weight and volume measurement, and the documentation of parcels.

Incoming parcels are weighed and measured, and a destination code and parcel ID is captured. This information is stored and used to correctly invoice the parcels. The standard two-belt unit can be extended using additional conveyor lengths at the infeed and outfeed ends. Parcel throughput ranges from 800 to 3500 parcels an hour based on the conveyor configuration. The machine can be supplied as a workstation requiring some operator intervention or as a fully automatic machine with full parcel registration done ‘on the fly’.
