Know how many parts are in every bin, in real time.

A scale under each bin counts what is inside and reports stock levels to your screen. No counting, no scanning, no stocktake.

Five bins on scales, each showing weight and part count on screen
What changes

Install the scales. Stop counting.

Stock levels always current

Every bin reports how many parts are inside. The count updates as parts are taken and returned — no manual input needed.

Low bins flagged early

Set a minimum for each bin. When stock drops below it, the bin is flagged and the people who order parts know before the line stops.

No more stocktakes

The count for every bin is always current, so there is nothing to reconcile. The quarterly count that takes two people off the floor goes away.

ERP updated automatically

Bin counts push straight to your inventory system. Stock records stay accurate without anyone re-keying numbers from a clipboard.

How it works

Step 01

Connect the scales together.

Each scale plugs into the next with a short USB-C link along the base. One cable run powers a whole shelf and carries every count back — no wiring per bin.

Power Comms Parts detected
Step 02

Connect the shelf to the Portal.

Run one cable from the end of the chain to the Portal. It powers the scales and collects the count from each bin. One Portal handles up to 127 scales.

1 cable per shelfUp to 127 bins
Step 03

Put it on your network, or on a Display.

Plug the Portal into your network to see stock from any device, or connect a Display to read the bins right at the rack. Use either, or both.

Ethernet or Wi-FiDisplay at the rack
Step 04

Monitor stock levels in the app.

Every bin shows its quantity on hand in one screen. Check what is running low, reorder before it stops the line, and skip the stocktake.

All bins, one screenLow-stock alerts
One bin to the whole store

Start with one shelf. Scale to the full store.

Same scales, same app, same connection. Add bins as you go — there is nothing to reconfigure and no software upgrade when you grow.

The product
01 / The scale

A scale that sits under each bin.

A slim scale slides under any standard storage bin. It counts the parts inside by weight and reports the number to the app — without changing your racking, your bins, or the way the line picks.

18 mm profileFits standard bins
02 / In use

Load the bin as normal.

Parts go in and out the same way they always have. The scale reads the total weight continuously and turns it into a part count — one scale per bin, as many bins as the store needs.

One bin, one scaleContinuous read
03 / Data

Weight and part count, bin by bin.

Set the weight of a single part once. The scale reports how many are inside — from two heavy castings to five hundred washers. Each unit reads independently and reports through a single connection.

2 to 500+ parts1 read / second
04 / Sizes

Sized and rated to your parts.

Choose the footprint to match the bin and the capacity to match the parts, from light fasteners to heavy components. Both size and capacity are built to order.

Part-count accuracy depends on the weight of a single part relative to the platform resolution. Heavier parts count reliably on higher-capacity platforms; light parts are best matched to a 5 or 10 kg unit.

Manufacturing and assembly

Stop the line from stopping because a bin ran empty.

Every bin on your production line reports how many parts are left. Low stock is flagged before the shift that needs it — so reorders happen on data, not on someone remembering to check.

Five bins on scales showing live part counts

The problem on the line.

Line stoppages from empty bins

A missing fastener or fitting halts the whole line. The cost of one stoppage dwarfs the cost of the parts — but nobody knew the bin was low because checking means walking and counting.

Reactive reordering

Parts are reordered when someone notices they are gone, not when stock drops to a level that gives lead time to replenish. Every late order is a risk to the schedule.

Manual counting wastes labour

Cycle counts pull people off the floor. The spreadsheet is out of date the moment someone walks away. And the count itself is only as accurate as the person doing it.

Five scales connected side by side with USB-C

Scales connect along the shelf, one cable per rail.

USB-C links each scale to the next. One cable run powers and reads a whole shelf of bins — no wiring per bin, no changes to your racking.

How it works on a production line

A scale under each bin, reporting to one screen.

Bins report their own count

Each bin on the line sits on a scale. The scale counts the parts inside by weight and reports the number to the app — continuously, without anyone touching it.

Low stock flagged early

Set a minimum for each bin. When stock drops below it, the bin is flagged and the people who order parts are notified — hours or days before it would stop the line.

ERP updated automatically

Bin counts push straight to your inventory system. Stock records stay accurate without anyone re-keying numbers. Purchase orders can trigger on actual consumption.

MRO storerooms

Your maintenance team should be fixing machines, not counting parts.

The storeroom manages itself. Counts are always current, low bins flag automatically, and the quarterly stocktake that pulls two people off the floor goes away.

StockMonitor dashboard showing inventory status

Every bin on one dashboard, always current.

Part counts, low-stock flags and consumption trends — visible from any device without walking the store.

What MRO storerooms deal with.

Technicians waiting for parts

A technician walks to the storeroom, finds the bin empty, and waits for an emergency order. The machine stays down. The job that was supposed to take an hour takes a day.

Stocktakes that cost real time

The quarterly count takes two people off the floor for a full day. By the time it is entered, it is already wrong. And next quarter, the same exercise starts again.

A spreadsheet nobody trusts

Parts are drawn from bins but not always recorded. The spreadsheet says 50 in stock. The bin says otherwise. Purchasing reorders too early or too late because the numbers are unreliable.

How it works in a storeroom

Every bin counted. Nobody counting.

Storeroom runs itself

Every bin reports its own count. Technicians take what they need. The system tracks what was taken and when — no sign-out sheet, no barcode scan, no data entry.

Stocktake replaced

The count for every bin is always current, so there is nothing to reconcile. The quarterly count that costs two person-days simply goes away.

Reorder on real data

Consumption trends show exactly how fast each part is used. Set minimum levels and reorder points based on what actually gets consumed, not on guesswork.

Portal connecting scales to network and display

Scales at the customer, data on your screen.

The Portal connects the customer's bins to your network. You see every bin from your desk — no visits to count.

What VMI programs deal with.

Reps driving to count bins

Your reps visit customer sites to visually check bins and guess reorder quantities. Every visit costs time, fuel and a person who could be selling. And the count is still a guess.

Consignment stock untracked

Stock sits at customer sites with no reliable count of what has been consumed. Invoicing relies on memory or periodic reconciliation that is always late and often wrong.

Over-stock or stock-out

Without real data, reps over-fill bins to avoid complaints — tying up your cash. Or they under-fill and the customer runs out, which risks the account.

How it works for VMI

The scales sit at the customer. The data comes to you.

Remote visibility

Every bin at every customer site reports its count to your dashboard. You see what is running low from your desk — no visit needed.

Invoice on actuals

The system records exactly what was consumed and when. Bill the customer on actual usage, not on estimates. Built-in consignment and billing reports export to PDF, CSV or your accounting system.

Replenish before they ask

Low-stock alerts tell you when to send more. Consumption trends show the right quantity to send. The customer never runs out and never has to chase you.

What remote sites deal with.

Nobody knows what is on the shelf

Remote sites hold thousands of parts across scattered storerooms. The only way to know what is actually there is to send someone to count — and that means a flight, a vehicle and a full day.

Emergency freight

A missing bearing or seal means a machine is down. Emergency air freight for a part that costs a few dollars can run into thousands. The real cost was not knowing it was gone.

Over-stocking to compensate

Without data, sites hold too much of everything to avoid running out. Capital is tied up in slow-moving stock that sits in a storeroom for years.

How it works across sites

Every site, every bin, one dashboard.

Multi-site visibility

Every bin at every site reports to the same cloud portal. Check stock levels at Site A, Site B and the central warehouse from one login — no travel.

Pre-position the right parts

Consumption trends show which parts move at which sites. Pre-position stock based on data, not on guesswork. Reduce emergency freight and reduce the buffer.

The app records every change. Billing reports show opening stock, consumption and closing stock — export to PDF, CSV or your accounting system.

What shops lose track of.

Consumables disappear untracked

Fasteners, fittings, adhesives, abrasives — they are drawn from bins but rarely recorded. Jobs are quoted with a consumables allowance, but actual usage is never measured.

Margin leaks on every job

If consumables are under-estimated in the quote, margin shrinks. If they are over-estimated, you are not competitive. Without data, it is a guess either way.

Reordering is reactive

Someone notices a bin is empty and raises an order. By then the job that needed those parts is waiting. Rush orders cost more and disrupt the schedule.

How it works in a shop

Track what is used. Bill what is consumed.

Usage tracked per bin

Every bin records exactly how much was taken and when. The activity log and consumption reports show usage by part, by period and by location.

What consignment sellers deal with.

Your stock, their site, no visibility

You own the parts but they sit in someone else's storeroom. You have no idea what has been used until someone tells you — and they often do not tell you until the bin is empty.

Invoicing on guesswork

Billing relies on the customer reporting what they used, or on your rep counting what is left. Both methods are slow, inaccurate, and create disputes.

Cash tied up in untracked inventory

Consignment stock is capital on someone else's shelf. Without real data, you do not know the value sitting at each site, how fast it moves, or whether it is worth holding.

How it works for consignment

Smart bin inventory system

Turn every parts bin into a connected inventory point.

A scale slides under your existing bins and counts the parts inside — no RFID tags, no cameras, no proprietary containers. Retrofit in minutes, read stock levels from anywhere.

Download datasheet
Bins on smart scales showing live part counts and weights
Smart bin scales connected side by side

Works with the bins you already have.

No need to replace your containers with proprietary bins. The scale sits underneath any standard storage bin and starts counting immediately.

Why teams switch to weight-based smart bins.

No tags, no cameras, no scanning

RFID tags need to be applied to every part. Camera systems need line of sight. Weight-based counting works with any part in any bin — nothing to tag, nothing to scan.

Retrofit in minutes

Slide the scale under the bin, plug in the USB-C cable, and the bin is live. No racking changes, no wiring, no integration project. Start with one shelf and expand.

Continuous count, not periodic

The count updates every second, not every time someone scans or checks. You see stock levels as they change — not as they were when someone last looked.

What you get

Real-time inventory from a simple retrofit.

Live part counts

Every bin reports how many parts are inside, updated continuously as stock is taken and returned.

Low-stock alerts

Set a minimum per bin. When stock drops below it, the system flags the bin and notifies the people who reorder.

Cloud portal and ERP

Stock levels visible in a browser from any device. Connectors push counts to your ERP so records stay accurate automatically.

Inventory screen showing part counts by bin

Every part number, every bin, one screen.

The app shows on-hand quantity, unit weight, percentage full and status for every container — filterable by part number, location or status.

Why weight-based counting wins.

Faster than manual counting

A person counting 500 washers takes time and makes mistakes. The scale reads the total weight and divides by the unit weight — instantly, every second.

No operator involvement

Parts are taken and returned as normal. The scale counts what is in the bin without anyone pressing a button, scanning a barcode, or entering a number.

Works with any part

Fasteners, fittings, bearings, seals, spacers, pins, clips — any part with a consistent weight can be counted. No shape restriction, no tag required.

From counting to inventory management.

Consumption tracking

See how fast each part is consumed, by day, week or month. Set reorder points based on real usage, not estimates.

Complete audit trail

Every change is recorded — when stock was added, removed, or when a bin was replenished. See stock levels at any point in time.

Smart Kanban alternative

Demand-driven replenishment without the complexity of Kanban.

Traditional Kanban needs cards, scanners, two-bin setups and discipline. A scale under each bin gives you the same result — right part, right place, right time — with none of the overhead.

Download datasheet
Storage rack with bins on scales across five shelves
Dashboard showing low stock items requiring replenishment

Replenishment signals from real data, not cards.

The dashboard shows what is low, what is empty, and what needs ordering — based on actual stock levels, updated every second.

Where traditional Kanban falls short.

Cards get lost or ignored

Kanban relies on someone moving a card or scanning a bin at the right moment. If the step is missed, the signal is lost and the reorder does not happen.

Two-bin systems double the space

Classic two-bin Kanban needs twice the shelf space. In a crowded production area, that space is not available.

No visibility between signals

You know when the card was triggered. You do not know how much is left right now, how fast it is being consumed, or whether the reorder will arrive in time.

What weight-based replenishment gives you instead.

Continuous signal

The bin reports its quantity every second. You do not wait for a trigger — you see the level drop in real time and act before it reaches the minimum.

Single bin, same shelf

One bin per part, on the shelf you already have. No two-bin setup, no extra racking, no floor space lost.

Consumption data included

Real-time inventory dashboard

Physical inventory, digital twin.

The cloud portal is a live digital representation of every bin on every shelf. What is on the screen is what is on the shelf — always.

The inventory gap in most smart factories.

Machines are connected, bins are not

Your machines report cycle times, your MES tracks production, but the bins feeding the line are still counted by hand. The inventory layer is the last analogue step.

ERP stock levels are always stale

The system says 500 in stock. The shelf says otherwise. Manual updates lag reality by hours or days, and planning decisions are made on old data.

No data, no optimisation

Without continuous inventory data, you cannot calculate consumption rates, predict run-out dates, or trigger replenishment automatically.

Close the loop with weight-based IoT.

REST API and webhooks

Read bin counts programmatically from any system. Trigger events when stock crosses a threshold. Integrate with your MES, ERP or custom dashboard.

Continuous data stream

Stock levels update every second and are available via the API immediately. No batch jobs, no polling, no delay between the shelf and the system.

C-parts management

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.

Download datasheet
Different sized bins with fasteners and fittings
Scales connected along a shelf rail

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

Set the unit weight once. The scale 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.

Eliminate stocktakes

The count for every bin is always current. The stocktake goes away.

Cycle counts and quarterly stocktakes exist because bin quantities go stale. When every bin reports its own count continuously, there is nothing to reconcile.

A perpetual inventory that is actually perpetual.

Every bin is counted every second. The stock record in your system matches the parts on the shelf — not approximately, not after the next count, but now.

What stocktakes actually cost.

People off the floor

A quarterly stocktake pulls two or more people off productive work for a full day. Four times a year, that is eight person-days spent counting parts that could be counted automatically.

Out of date immediately

The count is only accurate at the moment it is taken. By the time it is entered into the system, parts have already been taken and the record is stale again.

Errors compound

Manual counts have an error rate. Those errors carry forward into stock records, reorder calculations and financial reporting until the next count corrects them — or does not.

Replace the count with continuous measurement.

Always accurate

The scale reads the bin every second. The count in the system is the count on the shelf. There is no lag, no entry step, and no human error.

Full history

See the stock level at any point in time — when it was replenished, when it was drawn down, and how fast it was consumed. The audit trail writes itself.

Compliance-ready records

Continuous, timestamped inventory records support audit and compliance requirements without a separate stocktake exercise.
