Hot take: “Dimensioners are too expensive and too much of a hassle to install” is the most expensive myth in freight. Let’s bust it.

MYTH: You need a six-figure laser rig with moving parts and a specialist on speed-dial.

REALITY: We build on modern infrared sensors — the same tech showing up in medicine and manufacturing. No moving parts. No proprietary mystery components. Off-the-shelf parts you can actually source.

MYTH: Installation grinds your operation to a halt for weeks.

REALITY: Simple install, and we’re on the dock with you — figuring out the right spot, the right integration, the right fit for your process. Not a one-size-fits-all dump-and-run.

MYTH: If it breaks, you’re dead in the water.

REALITY: 1-year parts & labor warranty, remote support, fast field-repair turnaround. Our units rarely need service — but when they do, downtime stays minimal.

Here’s the bottom line: same capabilities as the big-name gear, at a fraction of the cost. That’s not too good to be true. That’s just not overpaying for moving parts you never needed.

The proof is in the pudding — and on the docks of carriers, shippers, and 3PLs across North America.

What “everybody knows” myth about automation do you wish would finally die?
