Our ToF cameras and modules provide spatial depth data for logistics applications. Explore sensing tasks, related solutions and candidate hardware around your workflow and integration platform. The paths below focus on parcel, carton and pallet measurement at static stations or on conveyors.
Use 3D ToF depth data for static and conveyor-based parcel, box and pallet dimensioning. Explore camera selection, calibration and integration requirements for host systems that calculate dimensions and volume and connect results to DWS or WMS workflows.

| Task | Define the scene | Hardware starting point | Evaluation focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Static parcel and carton measurement | Object size, presentation and camera-to-surface distance | DM-RGBD5003A for RGB and depth; DM5005A for USB depth and IR | Calibrated reference plane, edge coverage and repeatability across representative packaging |
| Conveyor parcel measurement | Belt width, package spacing, line speed and trigger position | USB cameras for host-side evaluation; DMOM2808D for an embedded MIPI route | Capture timing, motion, duplicate-read policy and complete processing time |
| Pallet and stacked-load measurement | Full load height, footprint, overhang and visible surfaces | Compare DM-RGBD5003A and DMOM2808D against the required viewing envelope | Coverage at the tallest load, occlusion, viewpoint layout and load-profile acceptance |
Our parcel dimensioning and volume measurement guide explains calibrated geometry, point-cloud processing and DWS/WMS integration. Use it to develop the measurement pipeline once the task and hardware route are defined.
Choose a configuration around the working distance, required surface detail and available processing platform.

|---|---|---|---|
| DM-RGBD5003A VGA ToF RGB-D Depth Camera | Up to 640 × 480 depth at 25 fps; 0.2–5 m indoor / semi-outdoor; USB 2.0 | RGB images, depth maps and spatial point clouds for host-side object processing | RGB–depth alignment, selected mode, host software and measurement geometry |
| DM5005A QVGA USB ToF Camera | 320 × 240; 30 fps maximum; USB 2.0 / UVC 1.2 | Point-cloud, depth and IR acquisition for a USB measurement platform | 940 nm option: 0.2–2 m; 850 nm option: 0.3–5 m; enclosure and heatsink design |
| DMOM2808D ToF Camera Module | 320 × 240 at 10–30 fps; 0.25–4.5 m; 2-lane MIPI CSI-2 | Embedded camera integration with a custom host and mechanical assembly | Carrier board, capture driver, depth processing and calibration |
These entries describe model specifications with their stated options and conditions. Evaluate final dimensional tolerance in the assembled station using the intended materials, lighting and object speeds.
For additional configurations, explore our RGB-D camera selection and ToF camera module selection.
Include the smallest and largest objects, mounting space, line speed and required dimensional tolerance in your brief. Specify length, width, height, bounding volume or load profile, together with units and the treatment of irregular shapes and overhangs.
Use a calibrated reference surface and independently measured objects. Include packaging, tape, dark or reflective surfaces, installation lighting and production motion. Record error, repeatability, valid-depth coverage and exception handling with the camera configuration and calibration version.
Plan acquisition, segmentation and geometry processing on the selected host. Define measurement IDs, timestamps, dimensions, units and quality status for hand-off to DWS, PLC or WMS software. The host integration determines the scale, barcode and business-system connections used in the workflow.
DM-RGBD5003A is a USB starting point when your host uses color and depth together. DM5005A offers USB depth, point-cloud and IR data. DMOM2808D provides a MIPI route for embedded designs. Match their coverage and distance specifications to your station, then evaluate the final measurement result.
A conveyor adds line speed, trigger timing, package spacing and motion to the acquisition plan. Include the time from capture to published measurement and define how software associates each result with a package. The dimensioning guide covers the detailed processing route.
Share object dimensions and materials, mounting space, lighting, line speed, host platform and required outputs. We can help compare camera and module routes around those requirements.
