Tool Vending Machines
VERTICAL L – ROTARY STORAGE SYSTEM
VERTICAL L is a vertical tool vending machine with a rotary storage system, designed for managing tools, components, and larger-sized parts. The machine enables controlled dispensing and tracking of material consumption in industrial environments.
What is it used for?
VERTICAL L supports production, assembly, and maintenance departments in controlling the distribution of larger technical components. The machine replaces manual dispensing of tools and consumables, reducing downtime and improving material availability. Thanks to withdrawal tracking and cloud integration, it enables real-time monitoring of consumption and inventory levels.
Distribution
of large items
Handling of tools, components, and heavier parts.
Consumption and inventory control
Withdrawal tracking, alerts, and operational reports.
Industrial environment support
Ideal for production lines and maintenance departments.
How it works
Dispensing process in 4 steps
VERTICAL L automates the dispensing of larger items using a vertical rotary storage system. The user identifies themselves, selects the required items, retrieves them via controlled access doors, and the system records the withdrawals and updates inventory data in the cloud.
01.
User identification
Support for barcodes, QR codes, RFID, key fobs, magnetic stripe cards, microchips, and transponders.
02.
Tool or material selection
The user selects items via a 17” touchscreen panel.
03.
Dispensing from the machine
The machine rotates the storage unit and opens the appropriate compartment (17 levels, 3 opening levels), allowing items to be retrieved.
04.
Registration and data update
The system records the withdrawal, updates inventory levels, and provides real-time reports.
