Edscha of Canada — motor vehicle parts manufacturer

AutoCrib provided RoboCrib 2000 machines to dispense tools with a "forced reference" program that dispenses regrinds before new tools. Remote Dispensing Stations were also used to dispense regrinds before the new tools. The complete dispensing system also included AutoLockers, and the ToolRoom Data Entry Terminals.

Results:

• Savings of $700,000 in new tool spend during first four months - reduction of 70% per day
• Reduced consumption and inventory costs
• Streamlined purchasing process with automated purchasing, which resolved stock-out and obsolescence issues
• Reporting is available on usage, to highlight spikes and excesses
• Tracking of all scrapped tools, with reports on number of times each tool is reground

News from Customer:

The customer is very pleased with the outcome - and they are still expanding this vending solution, by adding more AutoCrib systems.
