Armstrong DWS System: Enhancing Shipping and Delivery
A common hurdle companies tend to encounter in logistics is dimensioning and weighing freight without affecting the throughput. The DWS System (Dimensioning, Weighing, and Scanning) automates dimensioning and weighing during the initial shipment. It autonomously measures goods, such as bags and packages, travelling through a conveyor. Armstrong understands that optimising space is essential for better gains and efficiency and helps companies improve their shipping and delivery services through DWS.
What Does the DWS System Do?
The DWS method ensures a smooth logistics experience by:
-
Automating weighing and dimensioning to remove margin and data errors
-
Optimising space for better storage
-
Reducing the need for manual labour and resources
-
Increasing throughput and performance
-
Calculating weight-per-volume to lower shipping rates
-
Utilising container areas to reduce transportation costs
-
Checking the acquired data with actual data to ensure product quality
-
Curating stocks according to their dimension, weight, and image scan
What are the Benefits of DWS?
DWS offers various benefits, such as:
-
Better Space Usage: DWS studies a package's property to generate accurate data for optimising storage space. Better space utilisation enhances the shipment and delivery process, fastens parcel selection and slots operations, improves order data, and boosts warehouse productivity.
-
Warehouse Management System: Armstrong's DWS mechanism presents data that helps you select the best storage location and carton and plan shipment. It enables direct connections with WMS (warehouse management system) to improve data analysis and transfer.
-
Shipping Operations: DWS implements dimensioning and weighing applications into warehouse shipping stands, saving shipping and transportation costs and securing revenue.

Tracking every delivery point
-
Checking the shipment to ensure it contains everything
Why is DWS the Best Choice?
Various factors make DWS the go-to system for shipment and delivery operations, such as:
-
Fewer to zero billing mistakes
-
Accurate dimension and weight data for correct transportation charges
-
Connected carton weight and information to synchronise live tracking and delivery service
Wrapping Up
Logistics and intralogistics companies require accurate shipment dimensions and weight details to enhance shipment and delivery services. The DWS System combines package details with barcode scanners to store the package for future use or automate measurements for immediate use.
