Stock Measuring Device
Different manufacturers produce devices which are able to measure and weigh packages and parcels. Each brand has a different communication protocol. This module provides an framework to interface such devices with Odoo.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Lets you register measuring/weighing devices per warehouse and use a full-screen wizard to scan a product, capture its weight and dimensions, and save them onto the product or its packaging.
This module adds a framework to connect measuring and weighing machines to Odoo. Warehouse managers can create measuring devices under Inventory > Configuration, giving each a name, a warehouse and a device type, and can test the connection with a "Test Device" button that switches the device between Not Ready and Ready.
From a device form, the "Wizard" button opens a full-screen measurement screen. There the operator scans a product barcode (or picks a product) and the screen lists one line for the unit plus one line per packaging level, pre-filled with the product's current weight and dimensions. Lines with missing values are highlighted in red.
- Pressing "Scan" on a line locks the device to that packaging and waits for the machine's measurement; "Cancel Scan" releases it.
- When a measurement arrives, weight, length, width, height and volume are written on the matching line and the line is marked as measured.
- "Save" writes the measured values back to the product and its packagings, and "Close" releases any packaging still waiting for a scan.
A device can only be used by one packaging at a time; a warning is shown if it is already in use. The module also adds a measuring device field on product packaging and a device list on warehouses.

terminal Installation and usage
OCA documentation · Odoo 18.0Installation
Source · Odoo 18.0This module by itself does not do anything.
You will need to install a module implementing the communication with your device. Look for modules with a name starting with stock_measuring_device.
Configuration
Source · Odoo 18.0The first step is to configure the Packaging Types (Pallet, Box, ...) in Inventory \> Configuration \> Product Packaging Types.
Configure the measuring device in Inventory \> Configuration \> Measuring Devices, don't forget to set the device type, and any other additional parameters.
Usage
Source · Odoo 18.0Use the "Wizard" button on a Measuring Device to open the screen and take measurements.
