ProMatDX: Make Invisible Waste Visible.  A look at how real-time 3D millimeter wave imaging can optimize shipping and storage costs.

Staff from DC Velocity recently attended a ThruWave education session hosted by our founder and Chief Scientist, Matt Reynolds as part of the ProMatDX event.

Here is a brief summary of highlights and you can read the full article online at the DC Velocity website.

3D mmWave sensors use radio waves to penetrate most nonmetallic packaging materials such as cardboard, plastics, air packs, and wood. This technology is human-safe, easy to install, and requires little maintenance. 3D sensors can be used to automatically audit your storage and packing operations to provide real-time feedback on how well your facility is performing. This includes automated tracking of cube utilization, item count, and detection of missing or damaged items.

Reynolds explained the areas where mmWave imaging sensors can be utilized in a warehouse or distribution center:

• At the time of picking or during a cycle count, operators can verify if the correct items are present in totes and bins.
• 3D mmWave data can be used to measure the fill fraction or cube utilization in boxes at the time of packing.
• Right before a package is shipped, the sensors can compute item count inside sealed packages to ensure accuracy.
