C-parts are low value. The cost of running out of them is not.
Screws, nuts, washers, clips, pins, O-rings — they cost almost nothing per unit but stop the line instantly when they run out. Automated counting makes them visible without the overhead of managing them manually.
Hundreds of part numbers, one system.
Each bin has its own scale, its own count, and its own minimum level. Manage five bins or five hundred with the same setup.
The C-parts problem.
Too many SKUs to manage manually
A typical production line uses hundreds of C-part numbers. Counting them all takes hours. Not counting them means not knowing when they run out.
Low value, high disruption cost
A box of washers costs a few dollars. The line stoppage when they run out costs thousands. The management overhead to prevent that costs more than the parts.
Existing solutions are too complex
RFID tagging individual fasteners is impractical. Kanban cards for hundreds of SKUs are unmanageable. VMI contracts add cost and dependencies.
Weight-based counting solves C-parts simply.
Count by weight, not by hand
Calibrate each bin once with a counted handful of parts. The scale then counts every part in the bin automatically. Five hundred washers or fifty bolts — the same method, the same accuracy.
Low-stock alerts per bin
Every bin has its own minimum. When a bin drops below it, the system flags it. You order the right part at the right time without checking every bin.
No tags, no cards, no scanning
Nothing to apply, nothing to scan, nothing to lose. The scale sits under the bin and counts. That is the entire process.
