How it works

How RoboCrib works

  1. User enters (or scans in) employee number and optional PIN, as well as any additional information that you choose (department number, job number, etc.).
  2. User selects the “Issue” (or “Return”) button on the touch screen.
  3. User can enter the item code, all or part of the item name, or a description — and the powerful keyword search capability will produce a list of all related items. User can even view a photo and notes about the item. User can then select the item the list displayed.
  4. The request is verified against the AutoCrib database. The system moves the carousels and adjusts the door “baffles” to accommodate the size of the door to be opened. Once the appropriate column is in position, the appropriate door (or doors) will open. Items are delivered by individual pie-shaped bin.
  5. When returning an item, the user will be presented with a list of items checked out to that particular user. The user can then select the item to be returned the list.
