OCTO DataCapture Dynamic Datasheet FINAL

Dynamic Dimensioning
OCTO DataCapture™
Application Software
Quick Data Transfer
Data is sent to the host at a predefined
time within two-to-three milliseconds of a
package passing a particular point on
the sorter. That allows seamless communication with the sorter in time-critical
data-drop applications.
Storage and Statistics
Data captured is stored and easily
recalled from a legal-for-trade, alibi
Database. Measurement statistics allows
analysis by shift, day, week and month
to help with planning, trend analysis and
customer communication. Data is stored
even when offline and re-sent when a
connection is established.
Sorting & Tracking
Build up commands by destination or
product code to ensure that each package gets to the right destination on time.
By knowing the shape of an object, the
software can send signals for a sorter to
reject an item if it is too large, or detect
when two parcels are touching or moving side by side.
Health Monitoring
Health monitoring software provides full
visibility of the performance of all
components of a system. If something
goes wrong with the scale, dimensioner
or barcode reader, you will be alerted by
an on-screen warning, allowing you to
act to ensure your operation continues to
run smoothly.
Effective Data Management
For a Smooth Operation
OCTO™ DataCapture Software is at the heart of any
METTLER TOLEDO dimensioning, weighing and scanning
solution. In its simplest form, it is the data-merging software that takes information from different devices - dimensioner, scale, barcode reader and camera - and sends it
to the host. However, OCTO™ can also transform a simple
dimensioner into a full data-capture solution. From its
basic platform, custom applications can be configured to
improve productivity and sorting efficiency.

Captures and merges dimensions, weight and ID of parcels or pallets for a full data profile
One standard software platform for all METTLER TOLEDO transport and logistics solutions
Same user interface for static and dynamic applications
Quick, seamless data transfer with customized data drop
Shape and angle information for efficient sorting
Detect if an object is outside of the measurement area, too small to be measured or in the shadow of
another object
Ability to develop custom applications based on individual requrements
Simple and advanced sorting is controlled by using commands such as destination, product code etc.
Real-time parcel animation shows what is happening on the belt at any given time
Health monitoring alerts the operator if there is a problem with the system
Measurement statistics aid operational planning and trend analysis.
OCTO™ ImageCapture
The OCTO™ ImageCapture feature stores pictures
of each parcel or pallet measured for proof of correct invoicing and package condition. Data and
images are transferred to the host system via ftp.
Configurable Host Communication
OCTO™ communicates with the host using a highly configurable message format. The data
string can be customized without modifying the software itself. If the host is not available, data
will be stored locally until the host is ready to receive them.
Customization of the host communication is required when existing IT systems have a non-standard communication protocol.
