CHALLENGE
Tool & Die was established in 1989, and in the past 20 years, the company had experienced significant growth. Expanding to more than 65 workers, the company suffered from a lack of inventory control. “We would order a tool because we thought we were all out, but would discover later that there was a full box tucked away on a shelf,” said D. …. Purchasing Agent.
SOLUTION
Landwell Systems worked with the company to install a Landwell Systems to provide access to 1,000 items in less than 10 seconds. The Landwell Systems automatically dispenses a wide variety of tools and supplies, while providing automatic tracking, inventory adjustment, and reordering. The Landwell Systems can run as a stand-alone unit or become part of a larger automated tool crib system.
