The cost of waste – wasted time or wasted materials – is a pressing concern for manufacturing facilities. CribMaster helps its customers manage their inventory more efficiently so that costs can be kept low while operations run smoothly.
The ToolBox is the foundation of CribMaster’s classic vending solutions. Its flexible coil layout makes it ideal for the distribution of high-use consumable inventory.
Michele Salimbeni-Schnoll, product manager for CribMaster, said: “Driven by our inventory management system software, this high-security device helps manufacturers reduce waste, lower costs and increase productivity. The flexible coil layout provides ample storage and can be easily reconfigured or seamlessly expanded with auxiliary units as an operation grows.”
The ToolBox offers multiple login methods via a touchscreen, which makes employee authentication easy. By using user defined fields such as department or job title, further cost saving opportunities can be identified and implemented.
The ToolBox can be paired with other CribMaster vending machines and serve as a main or auxiliary unit.
The Express ToolBox is a simplified vending alternative to the ToolBox. It provides basic functionality yet still offers security, controlled dispensing and real-time data tracking. The Express ToolBox employs an easy-to-use keypad interface to provide workers 24/7 access to their required inventory. Transactions are recorded automatically, tracking the usage of supplies thanks to predetermined cost centres.
Ms Salimbeni-Schnoll continued: “Both the ToolBox and ToolBox Express help manufacturers reduce the waste of high-use consumables by dispensing items, one at a time, when and where they are needed. By dispensing supplies at their point of use, our vending machines eliminate unproductive travel time to get parts or equipment.”
The ToolBox and the ToolBox Express are available in six-shelf and seven-shelf configurations. The flexible dispensing layout can be customised to suit each facility’s individual needs.
