Storeroom & Materials Management
The FIS Automated Supply Program is an unconventional new way to manage high-usage, high-value, perishable tools such as inserts, drills, taps, end mills, bandsaw blades and toolholders. It's a self-contained, secured, computer-controlled dispensing system that can provide 24 hour access to inventory.
The Standard Automated Supply Program comes with a host computer station attached to as many as 32 stations. Each station comes with a key pad and a display built right in for you to make your product selections.
The "Tool-Touch" System uses a 15" flat panel touch screen mounted to the front of each station to display a variety of tool and shop information. This system even displays digital pictures, scanned drawings or screen shots of cutting tool application data – making it ideal for automating tool control and gaining vital information for your shop. The Tool-Touch System is fully networkable and uses standard network protocols, allowing nearly unlimited installation possibilities. Each dispensing station can control up to 70 different items and as many as 30 packages of each item.
