WinWare Releases the Accu-Port RFID Store Room/Crib Management System
WinWare has combined the company's
toolcrib automation software with an electronically controlled RFID portal to
enable hands-off tracking of indirect materials. The Accu-Port is designed for
industrial facilities needing to better manage indirect materials without adding
processes to achieve results. The Accu-Port enables an unmanned store room or
tool crib to have complete accountability for those removing or returning
inventory.
Utilizing RFID technology, a user entering the store room or tool crib is identified by the badge they have on their person. The CribMaster touchscreen interface identifies the person entering and highlights an enter button. The user presses the enter button and a gated door locked by a CribMaster Multi-Lock opens and allows entry into the area. The user simply finds the item they are looking for which is marked with an RFID label and walks back to the entrance, presses the exit button and walks back through the door. The RFID badges identify the user who carried the items through the Accu-Port and completes an issue transaction for the inventory. When someone enters the Accu-Port with inventory the inventory is identified and adjusted back into inventory once they completely enter the store room or tool crib.
The CribMaster Accu-Port system automates replenishment, creates and distributes purchase orders, reduces pilferage and mis-use, reduces labor involved with inventory management and suggests optimum order points based on usage and a Gordon Graham inventory replenishment formula. CribMaster and Accu-Port can also help identify process flaws and improve production performance by issuing items to cost centers and monitoring usage. CribMaster also has features to track FOD, lot numbers and expiration dates, issue work orders and distribute tools to complete the work order task, transfer items between store rooms, cribs and point of use devices, and even link multiple sites to reduce surplus inventory from an enterprise level.
