Dispensing Machines

A significant advantage of our vending machines is the ability to combine them, creating extensive systems that serve multiple product groups using a single management panel. This makes it possible, for example, to connect a drum dispenser for PPE equipment – DYNABOX with a locker dispensing machine for larger tools – LOCKERBOX. This saves employees the time needed to retrieve the correct items from the warehouse, and all quantity changes are continuously signaled by a reliable IT system. This briefly characterizes the operation of our dispensing machines. However, it is worth taking a closer look at their features and functionalities.

Drum Vending Machines – DYNABOX

At first glance, it is clear that ALL RANGES of our machines were practically designed for the conditions prevalent in production halls and warehouses. SIMPLE and ROBUST CONSTRUCTION, along with the high quality of materials and finish, guarantee their long-term durability. The use of a SLOPING ROOF effectively prevents any products from being stored on the machine, thus avoiding the risk of unnecessary overload or workplace accidents. The machine’s COMPACT DIMENSIONS and WELDED CONSTRUCTION ON A SUPPORT FRAME allow it to be placed anywhere near a workstation and, if necessary, quickly relocated without additional effort.

DYNABOX dispensing machines are exceptionally flexible in terms of the number and size of compartments. Thanks to the use of a drum with a customized number of divisions and metal slides, it is possible to achieve up to 1080 INDEPENDENT COMPARTMENTS. The software provides FULL CONTROL and DETAILED REPORTING, as well as, if necessary, the introduction of specific LIMITS for a given item. Thanks to continuous monitoring of inventory levels in the machine, we gain an unattended warehouse, guaranteeing FULL 24/7 AVAILABILITY.

SIMPLE OPERATION of the intuitive interface and rapid resource dispensing allow users of the machine to maintain work continuity, without the need for long trips around the warehouse in search of a specific item.

Locker Vending Machine – LOCKERBOX

We have already mentioned that a common feature of our products is ROBUST CONSTRUCTION ON A WELDED FRAME and COMPACT DIMENSIONS, allowing them to be installed anywhere near workstations and, if necessary, quickly relocated.

LOCKERBOX dispensers are a system of automatically opening and closing INDEPENDENT LOCKERS of specified sizes, which can be arranged precisely according to the Client’s needs. The lockers can be equipped with a range of additional functionalities, such as glass doors, internal lighting, pull-out drawers, stands, or additional compartments. Additionally, it is possible to install network and electrical sockets inside the lockers, ensuring that selected equipment remains constantly ready for operation.

As with all machines from the BOX range, in this case too, full control and reporting allow tracking resource consumption and usage patterns. In the event of a damaged equipment return, it is possible to quickly identify the last person who used it.

The flexibility of expanding the TEMREX dispenser system is a response to the diverse needs of various industries. ONE CONTROL MODULE can operate UP TO 15 MACHINES OF DIFFERENT TYPES*. It is also possible to use more control modules, for example, to reduce queues when the frequency of resource retrieval is significant.

Return Unit – CYCLEBOX

The CYCLEBOX machine is used for returning used items and serves as an additional module, cooperating with the main dispensing module. The machine’s operation is intuitive. The user tilts the loading chamber using an ergonomic handle, inserts the item, and then closes the chamber, allowing the item to move to a mobile bin. A CAMERA recording the moment of return allows for the identification of the item and the person returning it, ensuring control over the entire process.

HOMEBOX – Information and Advertising Unit

The HOMEBOX machine is a device whose most important feature is a functional, 43-inch touchscreen. This effective module can serve as a multimedia information board, an order placement station, an internal communication tool, and a management module for additional machines from the BOX range.

All TEMREX machines can be manufactured in any color from the RAL palette. It is also possible to apply individual graphics to the entire surface of the machine – depending on the Client’s needs.

Money, time, and quality – these are the three most crucial factors whose mastery can guarantee the long-term success of any company. The same applies to the world of production, where all improvements in planning and logistics aim to streamline work and optimize consumption, which significantly impacts process efficiency and, ultimately, the PROFIT derived from the execution of a given undertaking.

Minimizing financial resources tied up in physical assets should be a priority for every manufacturer aiming to optimize their efficiency and flow. With the right knowledge and tools, this goal can be achieved.

Ensuring best practices in inventory management on the production floor or in the warehouse is crucial. And there is plenty to manage. Components, tools, and personal protective equipment are key links in production processes, and only uninterrupted access to them guarantees smooth team operations.

Availability

It is obvious that every company should ensure that essential resources do not run out. This would entail the risk of failing to meet order deadlines, leading to customer dissatisfaction and loss of reputation.

On the other hand, ensuring the availability of supplies should not mean storing excessive amounts of inventory. This leads to unnecessary occupation of warehouse space and also carries the risk that items stored for too long may lose their warranty, deteriorate, or become technologically obsolete.

The rate of resource consumption largely depends on the size and operational dynamics of a specific manufacturer. Where time and perfect synchronization are critical, there is no room for downtime or errors. All inventory control solutions will facilitate smooth departmental operations and enable efficient supply planning.

Production Under Control

Prudent inventory management is not possible without control. It sometimes happens that employees, wishing to avoid frequent trips to supply points, take necessary resources ‘in advance,’ contributing to rapid shortages. This can disrupt production flow and generate additional costs associated with the hasty purchase of missing components. Matters become even more complicated when it turns out that the availability of a given product on the market is currently limited, and purchasing a substitute will involve a significant price difference.

How to Solve Resource Distribution Problems?

CONTROL

Who, where, when, how much – answers to these questions will allow for a closer look at any discrepancies related to the withdrawal of essential resources. Knowledge regarding how items are withdrawn is fundamental for conscious purchasing planning based on their actual consumption.

LIMITS

Restricting access to selected items for specific individuals or groups will eliminate unauthorized withdrawal of selected items by unauthorized persons, which will translate into measurable savings.

AVAILABILITY

Constant monitoring of resource availability will enable ongoing replenishment of any shortages. This will help avoid situations where essential work items become scarce.

TIME SAVINGS

The ability to withdraw resources near the workstation offers both comfort for employees and significant time savings that they would otherwise spend on ‘trips’ to the warehouse in search of specific items. This directly translates into production fluidity and team efficiency.

SOLUTION

All the above-mentioned elements are the main advantages resulting from the implementation of dispensing machines in production halls and warehouses. AUTOMATION of selected processes has a tangible impact on the operation of production-related departments. Constant monitoring of item withdrawals enables effective purchasing planning, and consequently – process optimization, error elimination, and timely completion of all tasks.
