Optioryx vs Cubiscan: Comparing Mobile and Static Dimensioning Solutions

In warehouse operations, accurate item master data is the main building block. Without dimensional data, operations & systems cannot work. With inaccurate dimensional data, operations & systems become inefficient, leading to an increase in operational costs.

Cubiscan is a provider of stationary or static dimensioning solutions in warehouse environments, particularly valued for their durability in controlled settings. However, static systems can be limiting in dynamic warehouse settings, where moving items to a fixed station adds complexity and time. Optioryx offers a more flexible alternative with a mobile dimensioning solution that enables measurements to be taken directly at the point of activity, without the high upfront investment in specialized hardware.

Two Approaches to Dimensioning

Cubiscan: Static Dimensioning Stations

Cubiscan systems are fixed, hardware-based solutions designed for product dimensions and weight. Typically placed at dedicated measurement stations within a facility, these machines are ideal for environments where items can be routed systematically to a central measurement point.

Key characteristics:

  • High measurement precision

  • Dedicated hardware footprint

  • Fixed-location operation

  • High upfront investment

 

Optioryx: Mobile Dimensioning

Optioryx offers a software-based alternative that turns smartphones and tablets into a dimensioning tool. Using AI-powered scanning and camera-based measurement, it enables warehouse staff to capture dimensions on the go — wherever items are located.

Key characteristics:

  • High measurement precision
  • Runs on iOS and Android devices

  • No upfront hardware investment

  • Pay-as-you-go pricing

  • Measure anywhere in the facility with one solution

  • Custom data capture (barcodes, weight, OCR)

  • WMS/ERP integration

Beyond Dimensions: Capturing More Data with Optioryx

Optioryx goes beyond traditional dimensioning. In addition to item measurements, the mobile app allows users to capture, digitize, and share data, from dimensions and inspections to simple checklists, collaboratively in a mobile and flexible way.

  • Scan barcodes

  • Capture photos and notes

  • Use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for extracting text from labels

  • Share automated reports

  • Use AI modules to classify images (e.g. for damage detection)

  • No-code workflow development

This turns dimensioning into a broader data collection workflow, ideal for teams needing full visibility into inventory quality, packaging, or compliance checks.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a mobile and static dimensioner?

Static dimensioners are fixed to one location, require special hardware, and need a dedicated station. Mobile solution works on supported phones or tablets, enabling accurate item measurements anywhere

How much does the mobile app cost vs. a static dimensioner?

The mobile app is free to use — no upfront cost or credit card required.

Static dimensioners typically cost €15,000–€50,000 upfront. In contrast, our solution runs on common mobile devices and offers flexible, usage-based pricing.

Can I capture other data besides dimensions?

Yes! The mobile dimensioning app supports various other modules such as scanning barcodes, OCR scanning, AI scanning, taking photos, custom data points, or notes,  giving you a complete data record.

Can multiple users use the app across different shifts or devices?

Yes. Optioryx supports multi-user access and device scalability through centralized user management and data synchronization.

What types of items can I measure with the mobile app?

The app supports a wide range of item types and sizes—from small parcels to oversized, irregularly shaped goods—thanks to mobile flexibility.
