Important Reasons for Use of Automated Dispensing Machines

Technological advancements in Industrial vending have aided in increasing overall efficiency of the industrial work place. Automated tool vending machines and tool dispensing machines are widely used by many manufacturing giants to reduce overhead costs and prevent a stock out scenario during working hours. All of them are based on the POW (Point-Of-Work) technology to streamline and automate the reordering process.

Some of the key benefits in using automated dispensing machines that work well with the POW concept are:

Fast Time to Benefit

1. Faster Implementation and Easy Support Systems

2. Versatile in handling industrial process and machines

3. Automated Reordering based on stock levels

4. No possibility of stock out situations at all

5. Web-based setup along with industrial data management

6. Integrates with industrial QA processes like Six Sigma and Lean Initiatives

Economical Benefits

1. Low Cost of Operation

2. Low cost of Maintenance & Support

3. Simple and Easy to use Software

What can be avoided

1. Prevention of open access to storerooms during weekends or holidays and eventually doing away with attendant labor cost, monitoring cost ad replenishment cost

2. Prevention of unrecorded or inaccurate transactions of important accessories and tools kits

3. Prevention of unaccounted delivery in different areas in workshop – like gate, near machines etc

4. Considerable reduction in costs due to stock outs, emergency or expedited orders and production delays

5. Complete elimination on waste and other inefficient manufacturing manual processes

Manufacturing organizations usually acquire an operating lease of a POW technology. But the process gets disrupted during times when the lease has to be renewed, during which the tools and systems are not available at the work point. The best solution is to deploy enterprise level POW vending systems with the help of a low-cost, Internet based POW vending service provider. By doing so, all the above operating and economical benefits can be realized at the earliest.
