Vending machines - Efficient C-parts management thanks to HK-MAT
HK-MAT vending machines are the complete solution for effective material and tool management. They take over the stocking, dispensing and automated reordering of your tools, goods and small parts, e.g. C-parts or MRO goods, thus reducing downtimes and production interruptions.
Thanks to their versatile development and special variety, HK-MAT systems are now used in all sectors and industries. Whether cutting tools in metalworking, personal protective equipment in the aerospace industry or hand tools in the electrical industry, we have the right system for tool dispensing, storage and resource management.
Your challenges in production
- Do you have production interruptions due to missing materials or long distances due to central warehousing?
- Would you like to make the time-consuming procurement of C-parts more efficient?
- Do you want to control your tool consumption and reduce tool shrinkage?
- Would you like to increase your productivity and reduce process costs?
- Are you struggling with staff shortages?
- Are you facing challenges due to increasing digitalization?
- Do you want to keep your competitors at a distance?
The versions of the HK-MAT vending machines - as individual as your needs
The HK-MAT vending machines are available in a wide range of variants and offer you maximum flexibility. From systems with drawers, spiral systems for goods dispensing or weighing cells. The systems can be combined to suit your requirements. Expansion units can be retrofitted at any time and easily connected via plug and play.
If you install the tool vending machines at different locations within your production facility, the systems can be networked with each other. This creates transparency regarding the availability of goods in the neighboring storage locations.
To ensure that your HK-MAT system is customized to your needs, we offer three different service packages: EFFICIENT, PRODUCTIVE or INTEGRATED. This allows you to choose the software options you need for your application.
The right software solution for professional tool management
We offer you the ideal service package according to your requirements and expectations. Choose the right software solution for your vending machine: EFFICIENT, PRODUCTIVE or INTEGRATED. An upgrade is possible at any time!
The advanced (innovative) software solution INTEGRATED controls the new "HK-MAT+" model series and utilizes the digital tool management EVOtools (by EVO Informationssysteme). This enables smart operation via an app - whether on a PC, tablet, or smartphone.
