<\/p>\n
If your company ships freight via LTL (Less Than Truckload<\/em>), chances are you’ve received a carrier invoice that didn’t match your original quote. Reclassification surcharges, rate adjustments due to weight or volume discrepancies, penalties for incorrect data on the bill of lading\u2026<\/strong><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

These unexpected costs are no accident. They are the direct result of working with inaccurate or manually captured dimension and weight data.<\/p>\n

At LYL, we have spent years helping industrial companies and logistics operators digitize and automate their warehouse operations. And one of the highest-impact \u2014 yet most overlooked \u2014 areas of improvement is precisely this: automated pallet dimensioning<\/strong> in the outbound shipping process.<\/p>\n

That’s why today we’re introducing the CubiScan N9<\/strong>, CubiScan’s new LiDAR-powered pallet dimensioning system, designed specifically to solve these problems.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What is the CubiScan N9?<\/h2>\n

The CubiScan N9<\/strong> is a next-generation pallet dimensioner, unveiled by CubiScan at ProMat 2025. It uses high-precision LiDAR<\/strong> (Light Detection and Ranging<\/em>) sensors to automatically capture the dimensions \u2014 length, width, and height \u2014 and weight of any pallet during the outbound shipping process.<\/p>\n

Unlike camera-based solutions, the N9’s LiDAR technology measures with millimeter-level precision even in difficult conditions: black stretch-wrapped pallets, reflective surfaces, or irregular loads. The result is reliable, repeatable data that integrates directly<\/strong> with your supply chain management systems.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Why does this matter right now?<\/h2>\n

The NMFC changes affecting every LTL shipper<\/h3>\n

In 2025, significant changes to the NMFC<\/strong> (National Motor Freight Classification<\/em>) took effect. This is the standard that determines how LTL shipments are rated based on freight density.<\/p>\n

These changes mean that accurately declaring the dimensions and weight of every pallet has moved from being a best practice to an operational and financial necessity<\/strong>. Companies without precise, verifiable data are exposed to:<\/p>\n

\nAutomatic freight reclassifications by the carrier<\/div>\n
\ud83d\udcb8<\/span>
\nPost-invoice adjustments that inflate the real cost of every shipment<\/div>\n
\ud83d\udcc9<\/span>
\nLoss of credibility with logistics operators and carriers<\/div>\n
\u2696\ufe0f<\/span>
\nInability to dispute incorrect charges without documentary evidence<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The CubiScan N9 was built precisely to address this reality.<\/p>\n

CubiScan N9 features and benefits<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
01<\/div>\n
\n
High-precision LiDAR technology<\/strong><\/div>\n

The N9’s LiDAR sensor delivers measurements accurate to \u00b10.5 inches (\u22481.27 cm), even on moving pallets or irregularly shaped loads. It eliminates manual measurement errors and ensures the data declared to the carrier reflects the actual freight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
02<\/div>\n
\n
Zero disruption to your workflow<\/strong><\/div>\n

One of the N9’s key strengths is that it integrates into the shipping process without adding extra steps or additional staff. Dimension and weight capture happens automatically as part of your existing outbound workflow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
03<\/div>\n
\n
Native integration with WMS, TMS & ERP<\/strong><\/div>\n

Captured data is transferred directly to the customer’s management platforms: WMS, TMS, ERP<\/strong>, and rate shopping software. It eliminates manual data entry and enables real-time decisions on load planning, rate selection, and bill of lading generation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
04<\/div>\n
\n
Full shipment documentation & traceability<\/strong><\/div>\n

The N9 generates a complete record for every pallet measured: dimension data, weight, and \u2014 depending on configuration \u2014 a photo of the load. This documentary evidence layer<\/strong> is decisive when disputing carrier damage, shortage, or reclassification claims.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
05<\/div>\n
\n
Compatible with variable load types<\/strong><\/div>\n

From standard Euro pallets to special-format freight, the N9 adapts its measurement to the reality of your warehouse \u2014 regardless of load type or pallet dimensions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
