The AutoCrib remote dispensing station is the original tool vending machine developed in 1994. This machine provides 24 hour a day access to your high value, fast moving and critical inventory items in a secure helix/coil-dispensing format and a simple to use keypad interface. In its standard configuration this tool dispensing machine can dispense safety supplies, welding supplies, cutting tools and other MRO related items. Optional electronic tool lockers can be attached to create a SuperStation, capable of managing oversize and returnable items as well.

Although this dispensing machine has been out for 10 years, it has seen consistent evolution. It has been updated with many recent advances, including its laser "vend verification" system. The system verifies that the item being dispensed has been dispensed before decrementing inventory in that bin. If the system does not detect that an item has broken the laser beam shortly after the dispense command, it tries a second time. This eliminates the frustration of not receiving an item due to potential stocking errors.
