Key Differences
1. Material Versatility
CubiScan's most affordable dimensioners (100, 110, 150) use ultrasonic technology. This works well for standard cardboard boxes but cannot measure polybags, apparel, irregular shapes, or foam materials. Their own documentation states these models aren't suitable for "eaches, apparel, or noncuboidal items."
To measure irregular items with CubiScan, you need their infrared models (325) which cost $15,000-20,000. Sizelabs uses computer vision that handles all material types with a single system.
2. Total Cost
3. Accuracy Trade-off
For standard cardboard boxes, CubiScan's ±0.1" accuracy is tighter than Sizelabs' ±0.25". However, Sizelabs can measure items that CubiScan's ultrasonic models cannot measure at all. If you need the absolute tightest tolerance on boxes only, CubiScan is more precise. If you have mixed inventory, Sizelabs is more versatile.
4. Beyond Dimensioning
Sizelabs offers AI-powered expansions that turn your dimensioner into a foundation for warehouse intelligence, not a dead end:
- Operator AI: Intelligent assistance for dimensioning operators
- Warehouse Assistant: Workflow automation beyond dimensioning
