AutoCrib adds RoboCrib VX
AutoCrib Inc. is adding a new model to its most popular line of robotic carousel industrial vending machines, the RoboCrib VX.
This new VX model consolidates the RoboCrib 500 and 1000 into one cabinet to streamline the RoboCrib family while adding greater flexibility for customers. The VX can come configured as either a VX-500, which holds up to 628 items, or the VX-1000, which holds up to 1,048 items. The cabinet measures 34"w x 39"d x 75"h and includes a 12.1" Touch Screen in an alcove. With field configurable bins, the RoboCrib VX rapidly adapts to changing customer needs.
"During the VX design process, we saw the potential in modernizing the line," explains Jim McMahon, VP Engineering. "We were able to improve efficiency and provide our customers with many additional features they have been asking for, at no additional cost." All RoboCribs now have a front panel that swings open for easy access and a touch screen in landscape position.
The VX also boasts the new AutoCrib Universal Interface (AUI). "Using a common platform across the entire AutoCrib line sets the stage for our next wave of software innovation and ease of use initiatives. It will allow us to operate machines remotely, upgrade software with ease and reduce maintenance costs for our distributors and end-user customers," said Jonathan Kim, AutoCrib's CIO. "It will also allow customers to easily control additional machines like our AutoLockers or our ScaleMate which enables complete control of fastener inventory by using a single scale accurate to .0002 of a kilogram. This is a much simpler and lower cost alternative to our competitor's multiple scale solutions."
