Vending Hubs
EVOLVE COIL
Robust, reliable, and easy to use. Our most accurate solution for dispensing PPE and small consumable items. A built-in laser drop sensor and intuitive touchscreen guarantee fast, seamless dispensing with every use.
STANDARD LOCKER
Ideal for dispensing and tracking larger PPE and Consumable MRO items. These can be set up as stand-alone or linked to other machines. These machines rely on user accuracy when entering the quantity to remove. Therefore, they are ideal if product accessibility and availability are paramount and exact usage tracking is not critical.
SMART LOCKER
Provides fast and convenient access to items, similar to the standard locker, but with weigh cell technology that records the number of items removed. Smart Lockers are not as accurate as the Evolve Coil. However, they have demonstrated a high degree of accuracy when dispensing. Perfect for high-volume lines and when customers need to restock the machine.
MINI LOCKER
Ideal to help automate the management of small consumables with a smaller footprint than our other lockers. Like the locker, these machines rely on user accuracy when entering the quantity to remove. Therefore, they are ideal if product accessibility and availability are paramount and exact usage tracking is not critical.
