High Speed In-Motion Shipping

Engineered for high volume.

Scan, weigh, dimension and label in motion, from 12k to 40k orders daily.

Handling the tasks of end-of-line shipping automation in motion is an entirely different animal. These types of systems allow for multiple labelers in series, high speed belted conveyor, but also require a more detailed approach to the Engineering.

What Makes In-Motion Systems Different?

Higher Speed Labeler

In-motion systems require a fast, responsive labeler equipped with feedback sensors. Our labelers apply light pressure for precise label placement, then retract instantly—keeping up with rapid throughput without damaging the product.

Encoded, Belted Conveyor

Instead of accumulation conveyor, in-motion systems use high-speed belted conveyors with encoded tracking. Each package is gapped precisely and tracked in real time to ensure accurate sequencing and data association.

Low-Latency Software Response

Even the fastest hardware can fall behind if software can’t keep up. Our WCS is optimized for ultra-low latency—processing label data, scale read, and sortation logic in real time to keep everything in sync.

In-Motion Scale

Packages are weighed dynamically as they move—no stopping required. In high-speed environments, multiple labelers can be placed in series to ensure every package is labeled without slowing the line. Real-time weight data flows directly into the WCS to generate accurate labels for each order, even at peak throughput.

Built for Growth

The way in-motion systems are designed, once the packages are singulated and inducted on the high speed belt, multiple labelers can be situated in series to increase the throughput. This makes the system easy to scale with your growth. Add one, two, three, four labelers and see approximately 20/40/60/80 CPM respectively.

Faster Upstream or Downstream Processes

In-motion shipping systems require a higher level of throughput from the surrounding equipment. Typically this means upstream carton erecting equipment, and downstream high-speed sortation.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact our customer support team for assistance.

What is an in-motion shipping system?

An in-motion system scans, weighs, dimensions, and labels packages as they move continuously down a conveyor—no stopping required. It’s ideal for high-volume operations that need speed without sacrificing accuracy.

How fast can these systems process packages?

Our in-motion systems are engineered for high throughput and can process 60+ cartons per minute, depending on the application and system configuration. They’re designed to keep up with demanding fulfillment schedules.

What makes your in-motion systems different?

Our systems combine best-in-class print and apply technology, multi-sided scan tunnels, and smart software controls to ensure accuracy, reduce mislabels, and eliminate bottlenecks—even with complex shipping requirements.

How does the software support in-motion operations?

Our software platform tracks every package in real time, handles rate shopping and verification, and integrates directly with shipping servers and carrier APIs. It ensures every label is accurate and every package is accounted for.

What happens if a label can’t be applied or scanned properly?

Packages that don’t meet verification criteria—due to unreadable barcodes, label issues, or address errors—are automatically diverted for exception handling. This keeps your mainline running smoothly without delays.
