On September 16, Mettler-Toledo, headquartered in Switzerland, released a digest video of the demonstration held at the "TLD970 Online Event" in August on YouTube.

The "TLD970" is a measuring device that automatically collects nearly 100% of pallet dimension data from a forklift traveling at 15 km/h and can process up to 720 pallets per hour. The demonstration was live-streamed online from a factory in Norway.
During the live stream, the length, width, and height of a dummy cargo were measured using the "TLD970" while the forklift was in motion. Even for cargo with complex shapes, the same values were instantly displayed whether moving forward or backward.
