How it works
How Remote Dispensing Station (RDS) Works
- The user selects “Issue” the 4-language keypad
- The user enters an employee number, PIN, and any overhead data on the keypad or optional touch screen.
- The user requests a particular item by selecting it a list or typing in the item name or number. A digital photo can be viewed to help select the correct item.
- The system validates the information and dispenses the requested item.
- The item falls into a delivery bin and the “Vend Verify” system checks to make sure that the item did, in fact, fall into the bin. This insures your user receives the product they requested. The entire transaction occurs in less than 4 seconds.
- The system tracks the issue of each item by employee, job, department, shift, and budget.
- Once the transaction is complete, databases are updated locally or on the web site (if using AutoCrib.net). Supervisors can see who used what item(s) and when, as well as the inventory level of each item. This can be viewed any internet connection in the world when using AutoCrib.net.
- When the reorder point is hit for an item, the system automatically reorders the supplier.
