Office Supplies Vending Machines in Industrial Plants

Why is GESMATIK ideal for managing office supplies in production?

✅ 1. Automatic control and full traceability

GESMATIK tracks who takes what, when, how much and for what purpose. This allows you to know if post-its, markers or labels are being used properly- or wasted.

d📌Without GESMATIK: “The markers disappeared again.”
📌 With GESMATIK: “6 markers were used during Shift 2. The quality team uses them to update defect boards.”

✅ 2. 24/7 access without bureaucracy, but with control

The machine is placed on the shop floor. Operators access it with a card, PIN or similar. No need to ask for permission or go to the warehouse, but usage is still monitored.

📌 Perfect for night shifts, quick changes or dynamic environments.

✅ 3. Automatic replenishment and inventory optimization

GESMATIK sends alerts when replenishment is needed – or can even place orders automatically with suppliers. Avoids stockouts and overstocking.

📌 A production line won´t stop because labels or stickers ran out.

✅ 4. Cost allocation by team or person

You can easily see which team or line is using more supplies and why. Helps detect inefficiencies or unusual usage.

📌 Why is the the maintenance team using 4 times more tape than the others?

✅ 5. Supports critical non-“typical” items

Even if it´s called “office supplies”, you can stock gloves, batteries, tool parts, light PPE, cleaning kits, etc.

📌 One machine, endless possibilities. Fully customizable.

🧠 Final opinion

GESMATIK is much more than a vending machine: it is a mini logistics ERP in plant for indirect materials. Especially valuable in factories working with lean methodologies, visual management or multi-team/shift environments.

Does it cost anything? Of course. But you recover it in savings, order and data from the first month if the use is well planned.
