Answer
Software will enable you to operate your carousel or shuttle and to manage your stock. Machines usually come with a basic level of automation (either shelf location or controls to make it go up and down).
Additional software will enable you to retrieve your contents using the criteria that suits you best, whether that’s part numbers, stock quantities, staff authorisation level, barcode reading and more. accessories to suit your requirements and your products.
Upgrades can be installed to existing machines:
- To upgrade to an enhanced capability at a later date if your needs change
- To eliminate inefficiencies associated with running several stock management and procurement processes. Ask your supplier if they can put all your machines on the same stock control system.
Talk to our experts about integrating software with machines you may already have too.
