S1 Benchtop Accessory for the M2
Put the item on the scale, scan the barcode. Barcode, dimensions, weight and photos in one shot, hands-free.
The QBOID S1 Accessory, model name Perceptor S1, is a benchtop station that holds the M2 over a scale, with an overhead 3D color sensor and a wireless barcode scanner. The M2 does the processing and sends each record to your WMS, ERP or TMS; lift it out any time to measure on the floor.

How it works
No touchscreen. One scan per item.
The barcode scan starts the capture, so the operator's hands stay on the items. Docked in the S1, the M2 runs the scale and the overhead sensor.
- 01
Place and scan
Put the item on the scale and scan its barcode with the wireless scanner.
- 02
One shot: barcode, dimensions, photos, weight
The barcode scan triggers a single capture: the dimensions, shape and photos from the overhead sensor and the weight from the scale, recorded with the barcode at the same moment. No second step per item.
- 03
Sent, next item
The record auto uploads to QBOID Cloud or your WMS, ERP or TMS. Lift the item off and scan the next one.
How to use your S1
Setup, docking the M2, hands-free capture with the barcode scanner, and undocking for handheld work. Filmed with the current S1.
Set up in under fifteen minutes.
The S1 ships in standard parcel boxes, not oversize, and goes together with just a single M4 hex key. Dock the M2 and it switches to S1 mode on its own.
- No screen taps: the barcode scan triggers dimensions, weight and photos at once
- The M2 keeps its screen, so the operator can check each record
- Lift the M2 out to measure items too big for the scale, then dock it again
S1 mode is included in the Item & Parcel app license. The M2 is sold separately.

QBOID CloudWays to use it
Bench, cart, or in your hand.
On a bench, on a cart, or with the M2 undocked.
Benchtop
At a receiving or packing bench, or on a mobile cart, next to the work. Every item gets weight, dimensions and photos in one scan.
Dimension anywhere
Move the station and measure at any location. A phone power bank keeps it running away from a wall socket.
Deformable items
Bags and soft goods measured as they sit on the scale.
Irregular parts
Odd shapes recorded as their bounding box, with a photo.
Undocked
Lift the M2 out for items too large or heavy for the scale, then dock it again.

Weby Corp: receiving with the S1.
Weby Corp, an omni-channel seller, uses the S1 at receiving to build item master data for packing and robotics.
“Time improvements are tremendous, from minutes to actually 2 or 3 seconds per product.”
“Our receiving team used to have up to 15 users, now we have about three or four users with QBOID.”

FAQ
S1 questions
Is the M2 included?
No. The S1 is an accessory for the M2, which is sold separately. Any M2 can be docked in any S1. The S1 mode license is included in the Item & Parcel app license.
Can I still use the M2 as a handheld?
Yes. Lift the M2 out of the dock to measure items that are too large or awkward for the scale, then dock it again. The M2 switches modes automatically.
Does it work with our existing M2 integration?
Yes. The S1 sends the same record as the handheld M2, so existing WMS, ERP or TMS integrations work without development.
How long does assembly take?
Less than fifteen minutes, with a single M4 hex key. The S1 ships in standard parcel boxes, not oversize.
How is it powered?
From USB-C at 5 V / 3 A, drawing under 15 W: the wall adapter that comes with it, or a phone power bank when the S1 is on a cart.
Which barcodes does it read?
1D and 2D barcodes, with the wireless barcode scanner that comes with the S1.
How many items per hour can it measure?
One item every 3 to 5 seconds, including moving it on and off the scale: about 700 to 1,200 items an hour. In a demo we can time the S1 on items you choose.
Can it be moved around the warehouse?
Yes. The S1 weighs about 30 lb and runs on a cart with a power bank, so it can follow the work.
Is the scale calibrated?
It's factory calibrated. Routine calibration checks are done by the customer.
