Various models of vending machines are an excellent solution in industry. In a short period of time, they allow a worker to obtain the desired items without visiting the warehouse. However, it is worth remembering that such machines are also a convenience for managers. We suggest how vending machines serve supervisors at workplaces.

Vending machines – help in dispensing tools

The main tasks of managers in industrial plants include:

• organizing the work of a team of employed people,
• supervising the performance of duties,
• ensuring compliance with health and safety rules and other applicable regulations.

Modern technologies ensure that all of the above-mentioned tasks are carried out effectively. Examples of such technologies are vending machines ASD Systems. The machines can dispense a myriad of diverse items: from tools, materials to multi-use and disposable personal protective equipment.

Using them in a company in industry is therefore not only an improvement for employees, but also for managers. With our machines, foremen gain assistance in issuing tools and other items. This means, for example:

• eliminating downtime at work;
• determining the access of employees to health and safety supplies and tools based on their position;
• speeding up the completion of tasks (it only takes about 15 seconds to retrieve from the machine);
• providing necessary personal protection articles, such as gloves, masks, helmets or goggles.

Using vending machines – logistics

It is also worth remembering that our cabinet vending machines and other models of dispensing machines effectively improve logistics and the flow of products in an industrial plant. Machines with the option of scanning chambers allow you to control inventory. The vending machines can also become a place where a courier leaves shipments for company departments or picks up packages sent to customers.

How do dispensing machines affect production costs?

Entrepreneurs who are considering using ASD Systems’ dispensing machines often wonder whether such an expense will prove to be a worthwhile investment. Isn’t it better to use a previously used and proven system? If you are concerned about reducing production costs, an addition to your workplace in the form of dispensing machines is a hit in this case. Properly managed vending equipment allows you to reduce expenses in any workplace.

The main way to optimize production costs with the help of dispensing machines is to control the consumption of items. We are talking here primarily about disposable health and safety products. Vending machines from the ASD Systems range, such as. automatic D810, thanks to connection with a server, keep records of distribution. Such a solution makes it possible to track the use of materials and implement limits for employees by function or nature of their duties. Defining the consumption of articles in selected enterprises allows to reduce expenses by up to 50%.

Production costs also include the need to manage the space necessary for the plant. Several vending machines deployed at appropriate workstations eliminate the requirement for a central warehouse. As a result, free rooms can be developed, for example, as additional workstations. Employees do not have to go to the warehouse to retrieve the necessary tools, which eliminates downtime and increases company productivity.

Dispensing machines as a streamlining of foremen’s duties

Typically, the distribution of tools, health and safety equipment, materials and other supplies requires the employment of a warehouseman. If the workplace operates in shifts, for optimum efficiency you need to hire up to 3 warehousemen responsible for issuing and accepting returns of necessary items for employees. However, it should be remembered that warehousemen do not always do their work as prescribed. In such work, errors very often occur, such as:

• lack of a note about the collection or return;
• lack of additional data in the retrieval note (e.g., the name of the employee or the times of retrieval and return of the tool);
• confusion in the type of items issued;
• employee abuse.

These are difficult to prevent – every workplace, regardless of industry, has some risk of human error. In industry, therefore, it is worth using one of our automatic dispensing machines.

The vending machines presented in ASD Systems’ offer successfully replace warehouses, as well as their operators. A great example of a multifunctional solution of this type is the cabinet-based L40 vending machine. The self-service device operates around the clock, so the scope of warehouse workers’ duties can be reduced to a minimum. The machine does not make mistakes. What’s more, the vending machine records releases and returns of articles, and records detailed data on disk. Then the person managing the system gets complete and error-free information about the flow of tools and the consumption of H&S.

Is it worth using automatic dispensing machines in industry?

The answer to the above question is: of course! Vending machines such as, for example D540 effectively support the work of managers in industrial plants. Thanks to them, fulfilling the duties of supervisors will be much easier and more effective, and, more importantly, safe. So, we encourage you to check out the vending machines in ASD Systems’ offer.
