Accu-Cab RFID Cabinet is used to manage tooling, spare parts or any indirect material at point-of-use. Driven by CribMaster software, the Accu-Cab adds yet another inventory management option to an already extensive line of solutions.
Accu-Cab consists of a heavy-duty, double-walled cabinet, internally equipped with four RFID antennae and an electromagnetic door lock. When a user walks up to the Accu-Cab, he or she must identify themselves prior to the door being unlocked. They can do this by using a touch screen monitor mounted on the door, or with a bar-code or proximity badge scan. Once the door is unlocked, the user opens the door to find inventory (that is tagged using Passive Gen2 tags) on adjustable shelving. The user removes the inventory and shuts the door. The inventory is automatically adjusted and the inventory is properly accounted. The same procedure takes place when returning an item. The user identifies who they are to the system and then clicks "open" to unlock the door. The user places the item back on the shelving in any location.
WinWare has also added the option for clear doors on the Accu-Cab. This is a great new feature to this machine as it gives employees visible access of the inventory. This allows for quicker transactions. Clear doors are available to all users, and are added upon request. The CribMaster software that drives the Accu-Cab provides all the functionality needed to manage any type of indirect material.
