Eboy is a ‘clever’, fully integrated vending and stock control system for cutting tools and gauges, etc. Modular and totally secure, the system comprises a host PC and screen using LMT-developed software and a combination of two types of vending units. One unit is for smaller tools with individual pockets that are accessed through a flap in the front, while a drawer-based unit enables larger items such as gauges, fixtures or milling cutters to be stored and dispensed.
By collating all items in a controlled and central compact storage area, valuable time is saved when kit marshalling tooling for new set-ups and local storage in setters’ cabinets, tool boxes or around the machine or production process is prevented. Expensive or delicate items are stored properly preventing damage and all items are accountable to the person who is requesting the withdrawal.
Each Eboy vending unit can accommodate up to 1,260 different items with the central PC able to manage up to 32 separate cabinets installed remotely around a factory area. In total, this can equate to 40,320 separate items.
