EleVend

How EleVend works

To pull or issue item(s):

1. The user selects the type of transaction wanted - "Issue," for example - and then enters employee number, PIN (if required), and any overhead data.
2. The user can scan the item desired from a product sheet using the handheld barcode reader, or use the keypad to select the bin number of the item he/she wishes to access.
3. The lid automatically pops open for that bin, and the user can take as many of the items as needed. User closes the lid to end the transaction.
4. The system pushes the supply of product up from the bottom, and measures the distance the elevator traveled. The amount of inventory taken is automatically calculated.
5. The system records the issue of each item by employee, job, department, shift, and budget.
6. When the reorder point is hit for each item, the item is automatically reordered from the supplier.
