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.

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 continuously.

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 continuously. 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

The activity log shows how fast each bin is used. Set reorder points based on real consumption, not fixed quantities.
