Dimension Scan

Start scanning by looking down on item, the item will be identified and highlighted in the real-time video preview. Press the DIM button for instant cube dimensions, shape analysis and image capture

M2 Mobile Dimensioner Handheld

Save/Upload

Item Dim, Barcode, Shape, Weight (if captured via Bluetooth), Multiple Images and more are saved to local flash and/or sent in real-time via Wi-Fi to WMS/ERP

SOFTWARE FEATURES

While the QBOID M2 Perceptor Dimensioner hardware is unique in the industry, QBOID also invests heavily in specialized computer vision software as well as workflow related software to optimize the M2’s enterprise ROI and productivity gains

Real-time Assistant

Using real-time augmented reality overlay, the M2 highlights items found in the video preview, identifying and validating that the item can be dimensioned

QR Code Config

Via a single QR Code scan, any M2 app setting can be configured. Instantly reconfigure the M2 as needed for different workflow and uses cases.

Customized Attribute Capture

Four soft keys on the main page can be configured as custom optional attributes to capture during a dimensioning task. All attributes captured are saved and sent via Wi-Fi API.

Barcode Wedge Capability

Send selected characters as postfix key strokes

Powerful API

Simple HTTP/HTTPS REST API immediately uploads JSON scan results securely and in real-time over Wi-Fi, and/or CSV files with all scan results are stored on M2 internal storage for batch transfer over USB-C

Connect to peripherals

The M2 can connect to relevant peripherals. For example, certain Bluetooth industrial scales can already be paired with the M2 for convenient digital weight capture.

M2 DIMENSIONER FAQ

What makes the QBOID M2 different from other handheld dimensioners?

The QBOID M2 is the only handheld dimensioner that can accurately measure both cube shaped and irregular items as well as pallets. Its portability and speed set it apart from traditional, stationary equipment.

Can I integrate the QBOID Dimensioner capability into my Android app and workflow?

Yes, please see above for our 2.3 or later API documentation for integrating the M2 dimensioner app into another M2 Android native app or browser based web app.

Is there an API document showing how to sync data from the M2 with WMS and ERP systems?

Yes, see our current API doc link above. The M2 API can enable real-time uploads of dimensioning results as they occur, including item weight, images, barcodes, optional metadata, etc. Customer WMS/ERP operators can use this API to develop server code to listen for, receive and store M2 data.

Which WMS and ERP can the M2 connect with?

QBOID does not provide any software to connect with specific WMS platforms. However, there are ERP solution providers that have integrated support for M2. For example, see RF SMART’s Automation for Dimension which connect the M2 to Oracle’s NetSuite ERP.

Will the M2 dimension properly outdoors?

The dimensioning scan will not function in direct sunlight, as the IR wavelength of sunlight will interfere with one of the M2’s 3D sensors. However, we plan to release an M2 update in the future to support dimensioning operations in full sunlight.

Is the M2 dimensioning capability certified legal for trade?

We plan to submit the M2 for NTEP and EU OIML certification soon. Check back for updates.

Which weight scales can the M2 pair with over Bluetooth?

Scales supporting the SMA protocol (such as the Rice Lake BenchPro line) with a low cost RS-232 serial to Bluetooth adapter. The M2 can also connect with ADAM scales and Mettler Toledo scales.  Contact QBOID for more compatibility with your scale type or to purchase.

Is there a wrist strap and/or belt holster available for the M2?

A robust wrist strap is included with the M2, and several belt holster options are available on Amazon that fit the M2 well. A rubber overmold case for extra drop protection is now available. Contact info@qboid.ai for details.

How does the QBOID M2 mobile dimensioner work?

This mobile dimensioner uses patent pending 3D imaging technology to capture and calculate the dimensions of packages and items instantly, simply by taking pictures, helping businesses eliminate manual errors and speed up workflows.
