What is a Static DWS System? How Does It Work?
A Static Dimensioning, Weighing, and Scanning (DWS) System is a standalone solution that enables automated volumetric-weight-based billing across industries. A key Warehouse Automation solution, Static DWS Systems primarily uses three distinct tools, which work in tandem to execute instant dimensioning, weighing, and label reading:
- 3D Profilers/Dimensioners for Image-Based L x B x H Measurements of Shipments, No Matter Their Shape (Cuboidal, Non-Cuboidal, Irregular-Shaped)
- Machine Vision-Enabled Scanners, which Read/ Auto-Identify Shipment Labels
- Load Cells that Register Shipment’s Dead Weight
When Should You Choose Static DWS for IntraLogistics?
Optimise Premium Warehouse Square Footage with All-in-One, Cost-Efficient Setup— Built for Operations Fighting Space Crunch!
High-precision Static DWS Systems are designed in a relatively compact form factor that doesn’t feature an outbound conveyor, sending shipments to a sorter/ sortation system.
Automate dimensioning, weighing, and shipment label scanning—without the expensive real estate expansion a Dynamic DWS will otherwise demand of warehouses with limited floor area!

Advantages & Workflow: The Complete Picture of IntraLogistics Automation with Static DWS
Why Are High-Precision Static DWS Systems More Cost-Efficient Than Dynamic DWS Systems?
If the operational space is limited, Static DWS for warehouses, dark stores, 3PL warehouses, etc., helps maximise ROI in the following ways:
- Save more on installation, integration, and maintenance expenses
- Invest the balance in other warehouse automation opportunities to optimise throughput
These pointers are also relevant in the context of Static DWS for 3PL companies and Static DWS for Manufacturing.
What Are the Complementary Warehouse Automation Solutions That Optimise Intralogistics Automation with Static DWS Systems?
Pair high-precision Static DWS for warehouses, dark stores, and manufacturing units with mobile robots, AGCs, AGVs, and different AMRs, including Autonomous Forklifts for efficient Goods-to-Person and automated workstation-to-workstation material handling.
How to Create an Integrated Automatic Material Handling System with Static DWS, Warehouse Robots, Sortation System Conveyor, and Other Solutions?
Step 1: Leverage a host of autonomous and guided robots, including AMRs, AGVs, ACGs, for their specialised capabilities to load and unload shipments—cartons, pallets, totes—onto and off the High-precision Static DWS Systems.
Step 2: Command some of the robots in your Warehouse Robot fleet to carry shipments to the sorting station or other zones, such as the storage area.
Step 3: Unload the material for further handling by the ASRS System or load the shipments for sorting on the inbound feed of the sortation system.
What is the Software Interface of Intralogistics Automation with Static DWS for Warehouses and Other Similar Operations?
Operate different solutions, such as the Static DWS, AMRs, Autonomous Forklifts, and sorters, and gather the workflow data they collect or process via the interface of a robust duo of software platforms: Warehouse Management System (WMS) and Warehouse Control System (WCS).

Why Opt for Quinta’s Solutions?
Key Features of Quinta’s Static DWS for Warehouses
Accurate Dimensioning—the key part of the Volumetric Weight-based Billing puzzle
Use powerful, Machine Vision-enabled line scanner 3D profilers to accurately determine the L x B x H, i.e., the volume of the shipments to the magnitude of a few millimetres.
Effortless plan logistics—freight and cargo boxes—and allocate last-mile or transit vehicles, for multi-modal routes.
Precise Weighing— instantly calculate the exact shipment load.
Tally customer-declared weight and optimise billing with cutting-edge ultra-sensitive load cells.
Foster better trust in your services, with transparent volumetric weight calculations that ensure the best rate in the market—eliminate unintentional overcharging, chargeback disputes, and revenue leakage due to undercharging.
Machine Vision-Powered Label Scanning—the most crucial component for inventory control and sorting
Identify even damaged, blurred, or low-contrast labels with high-contrast Machine Vision Cameras, integrated by Quinta’s experts.
Read barcodes, QR codes, and laser-embossed codes against different surfaces, without compromising throughput due to no-reads.
Thorough Integration into the Warehouse Automation Solutions Suite— ensuring workflow continuity and making sense of the data by the Static DWS for warehouses
To scale up and to adapt seamlessly, centralise warehouse intelligence with uninterrupted data flow by integrating the components of the DWS solution into the WMS.
The WMS, in turn linked to the WCS, creates a robust enterprise data repository, while WCS controls and interfaces communication among the Warehouse Robotics fleet, the sorter, and the Static DWS.
