"Our manufacturing customers wanted to be able to grab a handful of screws or washers without the hassle of counting each one", explains Bruce Weaver, VP of Sales for AutoCrib, "yet they needed to count them to keep their inventories accurate for job costing and to avoid costly shutdowns." AutoCrib's ScaleMate solves this problem by weighing the parts or fasteners and converting the weights to units. This provides a significant increase in security over typical drawer-based dispensing systems, where the user is asked to report how many of a specific item he is taking. Various human factors like guessing, not reporting or miscounting which cause inventory errors, and ultimately cause stock outs, shut downs, emergency purchase orders and rush shipments.  If the user attempts to trick the system by putting a different item in the bin, the system checks to make sure the new weight is divisible by the per piece weight.  If not, it will report bin contamination to the system administrator. "We listened to customers who are dealing with fasteners and other small parts", state Bruce Weaver, and "they love the simplicity of our standard RoboCrib, but needed more accurate tracking than the RoboCrib provides.  The ScaleMate delivers a perfect solution and easily connects to any RoboCrib."  ScaleMate Specific Features: Compatible with the RoboCrib 500, 1000 and 2000 High quality Mettler Toledo load cell Capacity to handle weights up to 30 lbs Ability to measure in kilograms or pounds Sensitivity to .002 of a lb Ability to back out tare weight Auto Zero capability Tower is 16"wide, 16" deep, 65" high, with scale 37" up from ground level RoboCrib Features: 24/7 availability with 100% total security and accountability Saves 20-40% on indirect supply costs Eliminates tool crib trip time by locating supplies at point of use Reduces stock outs and purchase orders using Demand Based Ordering Exclusive AutoCrib 5.3 software with dashboard provides instant access to your critical supplies metrics No need to repackage items Exclusive frameless doors allow access to larger items For more information visit: http://autocrib.co.uk/products/scalemate http://www.cis-tools.co.uk/news/article23.html http://www.cis-tools.co.uk/news/article23.html Tue, 14 Oct 2008 12:00:00 +0000 AutoCrib, Inc. today releases the latest version of its popular RoboCrib carousel tool dispensing system. The RoboCrib 500 will provide distributors and users with the power of RoboCrib in a compact and mobile machine. The RoboCrib 500 offers high-security issue and return of a variety of items, including tools, fasteners, welding supplies, MRO, gloves and PPE supplies.  Its flexible configuration allows for both large and delicate items to be dispensed from the same machine at the point of use rather than from a central tool crib saving time and money while increasing control. The smaller size and lower cost means exceptionally rapid payback for smaller companies or for larger companies who want to dispense from more locations to save trip time. AutoCrib CEO, Steve Pixley explains, "The RoboCrib 500 is very well suited to smaller users as well as larger users who want to de-centralize item delivery as much as possible. Moving items to the point of use/work is a common goal of many Lean initiatives." The RoboCrib is designed for unparalleled flexibility and product density in a compact 30" wide, 32" deep and 75" tall configuration. The compact RoboCrib 500 has the ability to run as a stand-alone unit or become part of an extended AutoCrib system. This system utilizes a series of counter rotating carousels that provide access to items through fifteen doors, the same proven technology used on the RoboCrib 1000 and RoboCrib 2000. A fully featured 12" touch screen allows users to issue or return items from a maximum of 628 bins. A number of bin sizes are available to accommodate a variety of item sizes and shapes.
