Cubiscan 110 vs 325 is mainly a question of item profile and measurement technology. Cubiscan publishes the 110 for larger cuboidal cases and the 325 for smaller items and cases, with different size and weight envelopes.
A procurement team should test the real SKU mix before choosing. A model that fits today’s average carton but fails on a meaningful tail of products can create manual exceptions for years.
Published size and capacity differences
| Model | Published maximum measurement envelope | Published weight capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Cubiscan 110 | 36 × 24 × 30 in | 100 lb |
| Cubiscan 325 | 36 × 24 × 24 in | 50 lb |
Specifications should be verified for the exact configuration being quoted. The headline envelope is only one part of fit.
Item shape matters
Cubiscan notes that the 110’s ultrasonic sensing is not intended for certain eaches, apparel or noncuboidal items. The 325 is positioned for master-data and parts-cataloging use cases with a different sensing approach.
Build a test set containing your awkward SKUs, reflective packaging, soft goods and smallest items rather than demoing only easy corrugated cartons.
Where the data needs to go
Both systems are valuable when dimensions and weight flow directly into item master data, slotting, cartonization or shipping. Cubiscan describes workflows where barcode-linked measurements are stored and pushed to a WMS, ERP or other endpoint.
For carton-selection applications, see our cartonization software guide.
Cost should be compared with exception labor
A cheaper system can become expensive if operators frequently move items to manual measurement. Estimate what percentage of SKUs fall outside the model’s practical capabilities and multiply by annual touches.
Our dimensioner ROI guide shows how to model payback from labor and shipping-data improvements.
Buying checklist
- Export SKU dimensions and weights if available.
- Create a physical test set of difficult items.
- Confirm maximum and minimum measurable objects.
- Test barcode-to-WMS data flow.
- Measure exception rate during the pilot.
Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference between Cubiscan 110 and 325?
They have different sensing approaches, capacity envelopes and target item profiles.
Which handles heavier packages?
Cubiscan publishes a 100 lb capacity for the 110 and 50 lb for the 325.
Can the 110 measure apparel?
Cubiscan specifically notes limitations for eaches, apparel and noncuboidal items on the 110.
Should I use one dimensioner for every SKU?
Not necessarily. Mixed item profiles may require different measurement stations or technologies.
