AutoCrib is pleased to announce that their Remote Dispensing Station (Helix RDS) will be shipped on a new platform with the chassis being exclusively produced by The Wittern Group, based out of Des Moines, Iowa.

"It was important to us to keep this manufacturing in the USA", states Steve Pixley, CEO of AutoCrib. "We did our research and were so pleased with what we learned about The Wittern Group, they are a solid company with a depth of experience in the vending industry." Founded in 1931, The Wittern Group boasts a proud history of quality products and dependable service. They are the premium supplier of these helix machines and the last U.S. manufacturer of this type of equipment.

"Our move to the new unit was very smooth, thanks to the support and expertise of the Wittern Group," Jim McMahon, VP Operations explains. "The new unit has all the essential basic and custom features our users have come to expect, plus some extras that make it easier to build and service. And Wittern''s service arm, known as VendNet, provides us everything we need in the way of parts, accessories and service."

The RDS [Helix] machine is the basic point-of-use system in the AutoCrib product line-up. It offers immediate, secure access to cutting tools and high-use supplies 24/7. RDS speaks four languages, and can locate items in other machines and cribs within the AutoCrib system. RDS can also force the use of regrinds.

With the new RDS chassis there is no change in price, but there are some differences and new features to be aware of:
