Why IRMATIC vending in abrasive distribution?

Dispensing in line with technology

Limiting access to materials approved for a specific operation or type of machine.

Reduction of consumption by 30–60%

Data from implementations shows a radical reduction in waste due to tracking and usage limits.

Registration of exchanges and causes

Possibility to mark the reason for withdrawal: consumption, damage, emergency change.

Minimising errors

IRLOCKER provides access to materials for all shifts without the involvement of the warehouse.

Limiting returns of complaints

Using incorrect grinding wheels is a common cause of defects – vending eliminates this risk.

Compliance with ISO and quality audits

Each withdrawal has a digital footprint – user, time, purpose of withdrawal, machine.

Industry Use Cases

Grinding wheels assigned to the order

The vending system assigns each retrieved grinding wheel to the order number – complete record and cost report.

Cutting structural materials

Discs for cutting machines dispensed according to the workstation profile – elimination of discrepancies.

Manufacturing plants with multiple lines

Limiting "stockpiling" withdrawals and simplified tracking between stations.

Maintenance, repair and operations (MRO)

Abrasive materials available 24/7 for maintenance and grinding operations in emergency mode.

Industrial vending machines dedicated to abrasive materials

Dispensing of abrasive materials requires equipment capable of controlling the assortment by type, diameter, and permissible application.

User identifies at the machine

Access via RFID or operator code. The system assigns availability to a specific workstation and machine.

Selection and dispensing of the grinding wheel

From the menu, the disc with specified parameters is selected – in accordance with the process. The industrial vending machine records all data.

Reason for exchange request

The operator can mark the used disc as worn, damaged, or incorrect. The data is recorded in the download history.

Analysis and orders

The IRSystem generates consumption reports, inter-departmental settlements, and initiates stock replenishment when minimum values are reached.
