techSHIP Desktop Client supported Scales & Dimensioners [Information]

Modified on Mon, 14 Oct at 11:25 AM

When setting up the Techdinamics Desktop Client, you might want to use Scales and Dimensioners to calculate the weight and dimensions live when packing rather than bring that information preloaded from the WMS for each order.

Scales are configured within the Settings section of the Techdinamics Desktop Client:

SCALES

Selecting a scale model from the dropdown allows you to enable the use of a scale.

The currently supported scale models and types are the following:

Mettler Toledo PS60
Brecknell PS USB
Fairbanks SCB-9000
Any scale using SCP-15 protocol
MyWeigh HD 150 / 300
Stamps.com
Precia Molen i5
Mettler Toledo IND231/236
OHaus T31P/T31XW
Dymo USB scales
Arlyn (with Scale address and port)

You might try other models, but correct functioning is not guaranteed for those.

Some models might require additional parameters to configure other than just choosing the option, for example: Setting up a Generic USB Scale in Techship Desktop Client [Step-by-Step Guide].

NOTE: The Techdinamics Desktop Client is compatible with USB scales only, COM scales are not supported.

DIMENSIONERS

Selecting a Dimensioner model from the dropdown allows you to enable the use of a Dimensioner.

These are typically connected to scales, so dimensions but also weight are obtained together, so in that case, Scale will also automatically change to match the Dimensioner you select.

The currently supported Dimensioner models are the following:

MODEL	ADDITIONAL SETUP
Tricolops Dimensioner	Requires manual selection of Tricolops Dimensioner as scale
Cargo Spectre	Requires providing the Dimensioner URL
Cubiscan	Requires providing the Dimensioner URL
Cubiq	Requires providing the Dimensioner API Key and Machine
Cubiq v2	Requires providing the Dimensioner API Key and Machine
vMeasure Ultima	Requires providing the Dimensioner URL, System ID and Username
FreightSnap	Requires providing the Dimensioner URL
