The problem of the accuracy of measuring the dimensions of the boxes

Modern means of automated measurement of the measurement of cargo units (boxes, rolls) have a fairly high accuracy of change. Usually it is 0.1-0.5 cm. On the one hand, this is good technically. On the other hand, the high accuracy of measuring the dimensions of goods has many negative sides. Here they are:.

Resizing

During transportation, especially during the transportation of goods by sea containers, the dimensions of the boxes may change slightly. Subsequently, this may cause disputes between the client (internal or external) when issuing goods.

Understatement of the charged volume of transportation.

The high accuracy of measurements at the stage of primary cargo handling subsequently affects the calculation of the billed volume of cargo (the transported volume - for which the client pays). with an accuracy of 0.5 cm, losses from understating the volume of traffic can reach up to 3-5%.

Increased workload on staff

As a result, from the experience of introducing WLOGI, we consider a value of 1 centimeter to be a reasonable and optimal value for the accuracy of measuring cargo dimensions. This is a good decision, positively perceived by all participants in the logistics process, does not cause discussions and disputes in the tariffing.

We can say that in this case - "Better is the enemy of good"
