Davis Tool & Die — mid sized job shop

"We need to control inventory and know what we've got"

AutoCrib Inventory Management Saves Company $40,000

Problem:

Davis Tool & Die was established in 1989, and in the past 20 years, the company had experienced significant growth. Expanding to more than 65 workers, the company suffered from lack of inventory control. "We would order a tool because we thought we were all out, but would discover later that there was a full box tucked away on a shelf," said Doug Green, Davis' Purchasing Agent.

Solution:

AutoCrib worked with the company to install point of use industrial dispensing machines -- the RoboCrib 1000 that provides access to 1,000 items in less than 10 seconds. RoboCrib automatically dispenses a wide variety of tools and supplies, while providing automatic tracking, inventory adjustment and reordering. RoboCrib 1000 has the ability to run as a stand-alone unit or become part of a larger automated tool crib system.
