UPS Shipping Label Scanning

UPS Label Scanning Automation Improvements with Computer Vision

Traditional warehouse barcode reading solutions such as handheld scanners are slow and unreliable in addressing the multitude of challenges organization experiencing when trying to effectively capture and scan UPS shipping labels.  Vimaan AI-enabled computer vision addresses these challenges with its advanced image capture AI-enabled computer vision solutions designed to automate label scanning and data capture with superior accuracy, consistency, and speed. Our systems deliver enterprise-grade performance across diverse operational environments.

Hands-Free, Automated Scanning – Vimaan systems are designed to capture UPS label data automatically—without requiring manual scanning. Whether mounted at receiving docks, added to conveyors, or integrated into packing stations, our computer vision systems continuously scan and interpret UPS labels in real time.

High Accuracy in Suboptimal Conditions – Powered by advanced AI and optical character recognition (OCR), Vimaan accurately reads UPS labels that are wrinkled, partially obscured, damaged, or affixed in nonstandard positions. The system recognizes multiple carrier formats and reliably extracts tracking and routing data.

Real-Time Data Synchronization – Vimaan integrates seamlessly with WMS, TMS, and ERP platforms, enabling real-time synchronization of scanned data. This ensures accurate updates to inventory systems, immediate identification of exceptions, and improved process control.

Automated Exception Handling – Label mismatches, unreadable barcodes, or improperly routed shipments are flagged automatically. These alerts allow warehouse teams to proactively address issues before they escalate, reducing operational disruptions and improving customer service metrics.

Improved Efficiency and Lower Labor Costs – By reducing the dependency on labor for manual UPS label scanning, Vimaan increases throughput while minimizing labor-related variability. Organizations benefit from consistent scanning performance across all shifts and a measurable reduction in labor costs.

Scanning UPS Labels for Several Warehouse Workflows

Vimaan provides the most complete shipping label scanning and reporting solution for the warehouse.  The AI-enabled computer vision platform is deployed across all Vimaan systems to provide accurate and precise UPS label scanning when you need it the most, this includes:

Package & Parcel Receiving – using the Vimaan ParcelSCAN labels on incoming UPS containers including envelopes, boxes, polybags and more are scanned on existing conveyors moving up to 3 feet per second.

• Inbound Pallet Processing – PalletSCAN 100-D can scan and capture UPS label data found on pallets entering the warehouse at speeds up to 10mph.
• Cycle Counting – UPS labels found on put-away cases and pallets can be precisely read by StorTRACK which supports high density case scanning and high bay inventory capture.
• Order Verification – Packing stations equipped with PackVIEW can quickly and precisely scan UPS labels on outgoing customer orders.
• Outbound Shipping – like the receiving workflows, Vimaan solutions can quickly scan and validate UPS labels.  For example, the PalletSCAN 360 can scan all 4 sides of a pallet in under 15 seconds.

The highly configurable Vimaan systems can handle the widest array of containers with UPS labels (and other major shipper labels including FedEx) such as envelopes, small boxes, large containers, polybags, shipping tubes, pallets and more.  No matter the shape or container form factor, Vimaan systems scan UPS labels quickly and even provides visual proof of each item in an image archive available for up to 90 days or more. Vimaan’s automated label scanning solutions are already driving measurable improvements in warehouses across North America.
