AutoCrib Industrial Vending Solutions

Kim Supply partners with AutoCrib to provide automated inventory management and industrial vending solutions for cutting tools, MRO supplies, PPE, abrasives, and other production items.
AutoCrib allows us to put the products your employees need directly at the point of use while giving you better control, accountability, and visibility of your inventory.

Why AutoCrib

Reduce Inventory Costs

Maintain the right amount of inventory at the point of use while reducing excess stock, emergency purchases, and unnecessary inventory.

Automatic Inventory Replenishment

AutoCrib tracks inventory as products are issued and can automatically trigger replenishment, helping keep critical tooling and supplies available when your employees need them.

Track Usage & Improve Accountability

Track products by employee, department, job, machine, or other criteria to better understand where your tooling and MRO dollars are being spent.

Increase Productivity

Keep commonly used tools and supplies close to the employees who need them, reducing time spent walking, searching for products, or waiting at a tool crib.

Flexible Inventory Management

AutoCrib systems can manage everything from small carbide inserts and cutting tools to boxed products, PPE, MRO supplies, gauges, and other high-value items.

AutoCrib Machines We Install & Service

Kim Supply carries and services a focused lineup of AutoCrib equipment, chosen for the industries we serve.
