Industrial Vending Machines
Your engineers need access to PPE, parts and tools. You want visibility and control. The solution? RS VendStock®.
Vending has proven to reduce product consumption by up to 40%
RS VendStock® is a digitally enabled vending solution.
Sourcing and retrieving parts, PPE and tools saps valuable time. RS VendStock® is a lineside industrial vending machine ideal for consumables and higher-value tools where tighter controls, 24/7 availability and traceability is essential. As an industrial vending solution, RS VendStock® enables you to track, secure and control consumption of tools and PPE while your teams focus on what really matters - keeping your machines on the move.
One of the biggest culprits of unnecessary spend is inefficient management of fast moving industrial consumables.
Managing inventory is no easy task when you're faced with conflicting demands from internal stakeholders and customers. Overstocking, poor monitoring and availability issues can lead to lost productivity and even downtime. RS research has shown that an effective industrial vending solution will typically reduce consumption by 25-40%.
Point-of-use access to vending machines across industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing have demonstrated their immense value. These cutting-edge machines are tailored to meet the unique demands of industrial settings. Our industrial vending machines use touchscreen technology to give 24/7 access to parts, tools and PPE, dispensing consumables close to their point of use.
The machines track and trace the distribution and movement of stock to and from the vending location. This keeps goods and high value assets secure while delivering useful insight into demand and usage patterns. Smart integration seamlessly reorders products on your behalf, leaving the replenishment of stock to us, saving you time.
To help you further maximise your operational efficiencies, RS VendStock® can also be used as a smart hub for calibrated products with automated notifications for when recalibration is due.
