Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many individual units of the FS5000 Pallet Dimensioner have been sold around the world as of June 2024?

A: Over 1,000 units of the FS5000 Pallet Dimensioner have been sold globally, with the majority in the USA, followed by Canada.

A: Field Service and Support: The sensors of the FS5000 are positioned approximately 3.8 to 4.0 meters above the platform, ensuring that forklifts can navigate without damaging the sensors. If an overhead sensor is accidentally hit, it can be quickly replaced.

FreightSnap in Kansas, USA, holds critical spare parts and ships them via express airfreight overnight. NWI Group in Sydney also maintains a critical spare parts kit. With over 60 full-time staff certified for LFT weight calibrations, NWI Group provides robust field service support. We are also working to get four staff members certified in cubic dimensioning.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of the FS5000, and how long are parts available?

A: Lifespan and Parts Availability: The earliest FS5000 units are still operational after 10 years, indicating a long lifespan. All hardware parts are non-proprietary, and future sensor advancements will be compatible with the current system, ensuring longevity.

Q: If a camera breaks in 7 years, can we replace it, or do we need to scrap the unit?

A:Sensor Replacement: You do not need to scrap the unit. The FS5000 uses non-proprietary infrared sensors from major global brands like Intel and IFM. As technology advances, new sensors will be compatible with the existing system, ensuring continuous operation and easy replacements.

Q: How Does the FS5000 compare to other brands with a service life of at least ten years, especially considering performance and cost?

A: Comparison with Other Brands: While other products may offer a similar lifespan, they tend to be very expensive. This is because of legacy technology, complex designs with moving parts, and large, heavy-duty frames. In contrast, the FS5000 offers a more cost-effective solution without these drawbacks. Furthermore, it provides efficient performance and durability, making it a superior choice for many users.

Q: Does the FS5000 require cloud storage for data processing, or can it operate independently?

A: Cloud Storage Options: The FS5000 does not require cloud storage. Although cloud storage is available as part of the FreightSnap Annual Support Agreement, the system can function offline or without internet access. Data is processed and stored on the supplied computer, which can be exported via API, SFTP, or manual download. FreightSnap and NWI Group offer flexible integration methods to suit your IT preferences.

Q: Is an Annual Support Agreement for the FS5000 required?

A: Annual Support Agreement: Yes, it is required and recommended for maximum uptime and performance. The Annual Support Agreement includes remote support for troubleshooting, calibration, API, and export support. The first year is included with the purchase, and from month 13, the cost is A$2,400 + GST annually. The FS5000’s design, with no moving parts, minimises maintenance needs.
