"We need to reduce spend, improve accounting and increase productivity"
AutoCrib's Automated Inventory Control System Reduces Spend by 15%, Increases Productivity and Provides Accurate Tracking
Problem:
How to reduce the total spend on inventory -- but keep items easily accessible 24/7. OPPD needed to track items issued by department and employee to help with department billing. They were looking for a system that could boost productivity, something that could be point of use for union workers. A large concern was also to eliminate stock-outs on key items such as hand tools, first aid and batteries.
Solution:
AutoCrib's automated point of use dispensing machine RoboCrib 1000 were positioned on the line dock that services more than 20 trucks for construction and maintenance projects. Instead of taking the time to go to the tool crib, employees simply select the tool or supply from the dispensing machine on the dock. The user enters an employee number and PIN, and receives exactly what is needed, often in less than 10 seconds. AutoCrib's RoboCrib 1000 is available 24/7 - while there is no attendant on duty 16 hours per day. With AutoCrib's Tool Crib software, the system delivers tool consumption and usage data, inventory adjustment and automated reordering.
