IDS ClearVision MRO, Tool & Hardware Asset & Parts Smart Locker

A stand-alone unit configures up to 18 compartments, and a satellite unit up to 20. The standard mix pairs fourteen to sixteen openings at 5-1/4"H x 11-3/8"W with four taller 10-3/4"H x 11-3/8"W openings, all 21-7/8" deep. Because the compartments adjust, capacity depends on what you store. Your IDS rep will build the layout around your equipment. needs  

This clear locker can hold a variety of PPE and safety supplies; however, the adjustable shelving and compartments mean that this storage locker solution can also be ideal for larger, bulkier equipment that may not fit in a standard IDS vending machine.  

A vending machine dispenses consumables one item at a time through a coil or tray. A locker opens a compartment, which makes it the right fit for items that are bulky, expensive, or more limited in availability. Many facilities run both: a machine for smaller safety gear, and stand-up lockers alongside it for these larger items.

After an initial consultation to scope your equipment and cabinet placement, IDS handles delivery, setup, stocking, and employee training. Timelines vary depending on your specific solution, but your rep will provide a clear schedule to keep you informed.
