AutoCrib's New Compact RoboCrib 500 Delivers Total Security and Control for MRO, Tools, Fasteners and Supplies for Under $15,000
AutoCrib, Inc. | 09 Sep 2008
AutoCrib, Inc. (www.autocrib.com) 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 RoboCrib2000. 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.
RoboCrib 500 lists at $14,500. Orders are being accepted now – contact sales@autocrib.com
