METTLER TOLEDO
 

End-of-Line Checkweighing and Logistic Optimisation Solutions

Rising transport costs, increased competition of national and international freight companies and a final 100% quality control of all products leaving your production line are making the use of intelligent end of line checkweighing in combination with T&L solutions for freight space and cost optimisation a key strategic factor in sustaining competitiveness. 

METTLER TOLEDO Garvens offers a comprehensive range of dynamic weight and volume capture systems to not only automatically check that all packages leaving your premises are complete but also gives you all the package handling data you need to automate and optimise your use of valuable freight space and transport resources.
 
Freight space is a very valuable commodity where every cm³ counts. Whether you rely on third party transport and delivery organisations or own your own fleet, making the optimal use of the freight space available will give significant and immediate savings. Optimisation of freight space will lead to a reduction of vehicle pools and the associated maintenance costs, a reduction in fuel and manpower costs, a reduction in the average cost you need to calculate for the delivers of your products and a reduction in delivery times. These savings can be used to reduce the price of your product to give you a greater advantage over your competitors or to increase profits for your company and shareholders.
 
Features and Benefits:
  • Officially approved weight measurement for billing purposes
    Only weight and volume data from officially calibrated weighing systems can be used for official freight billing purposes. The weight data delivered from your end of line checkweigher can be directly transferred onto your invoice or third party delivery organisation. Weighing once, using an officially calibrated checkweigher, before palletisation early on in your processes will save considerable time and costs further down in the supply chain.
  • Automatic sorting for end customer deliveries
    Choosing the right logistic company when despatching many different packet sizes and weights can save enormous amounts of money. An end of line checkweigher and volume capture system can, based on the size and weight of each individual package, automatically sort each package to be despatched using the cheapest logistic company for that particular package. This negates the need to negotiate a single “average” price for all package weights and sizes and gives you a 100% despatch data transparency which is extremely important when negotiating new rates to reduce your costs even more.
  • Very fast ROI
    Freight space optimisation gives additional revenues by increasing your freight transport capacity and making the optimum use of your current transport resources. A complete ROI can be achieved, depending on product and despatch volume, in as little as a few months.
  • Full traceability for shipment security
    Comparing weight and volume data captured from your suppliers system with the data of the delivered goods ensures that any losses during transportation or discrepancies are automatically and immediately registered.
  • Palletisation optimisation
    Ensures the optimal packing and optimal weight of each pallet. The captured weight and volume data can be sent to a palletisation robot that will stack each pallet to the maximum allowable dimensions without exceeding the maximum allowable weight. Full pallets ensure that vehicle and container space is utilised to the maximum enabling the sending of more goods whilst still saving money.
