DigiStore Automated Warehouse Systems
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What exact materials can be stored in DigitStore machines?
The system is extremely versatile. In the bodywork and paint industry, it is most commonly used for dispensing expensive abrasive materials, masking tapes, polishing pastes, workshop chemicals (glues, solvents), work gloves, paint masks (PPE), and small tools and spare parts.
2. How does one achieve savings of up to 50% on material usage?
The savings come from three factors. First: full transparency – every employee knows that their withdrawals are recorded, which automatically eliminates waste and unjustified "hoarding" of supplies. Second: elimination of theft. Third: the system allows for the imposition of limits (e.g., a specific number of abrasive discs per shift/per employee), forcing more efficient work.
3. How does an employee withdraw the necessary material?
The process is quick and intuitive, taking just a few seconds. The employee logs into the machine using a personalized proximity card (e.g., RFID), PIN, or key fob. They then select the needed product on the touchscreen (often assigning it directly to a specific repair order number), and the machine opens the appropriate compartment.
4. What happens when the stock of a particular product falls below the minimum?
DigitStore ensures that key materials are never lacking in the workshop, eliminating costly downtimes. The software continuously monitors inventory levels. When a defined minimum threshold is reached, the system automatically sends a notification to the person responsible for purchasing or directly generates an order to the selected supplier.
5. Can the size of compartments in the machine be modified?
Yes, the DigitStore system is characterized by high flexibility. The configuration of the machine's interior (size and layout of compartments) is not permanently fixed. If you change the assortment used or the dimensions of the purchased chemicals in the future, the capacity and layout of the machine can be adjusted to new operational requirements.
6. Will the machine work in a smaller service, or is this solution only for large ASOs?
Cost management is crucial in any company, regardless of scale. Although the economies of scale are greatest in large ASOs, medium and smaller bodywork and paint services also report very quick returns on investment (ROI). The recovered time, lack of downtimes, and drastic reduction in bills for consumables make this solution quickly pay for itself.
7. Who is responsible for physically restocking the goods in the machine?
This depends on the logistics model you choose. It can be done by a designated workshop employee (e.g., manager or warehouse worker) based on a shortage report. However, an increasingly popular solution in the automotive industry is the "Vendor-Managed Inventory" (VMI) service – your paint materials supplier receives notifications from the system, and their representative physically comes to restock the machine.
8. Can the system be integrated with existing workshop software (DMS)?
The DigitStore software operates in the cloud and is accessed via a web browser, which in itself requires no installation. However, it has advanced data export capabilities, which in many cases allows for efficient information exchange with invoicing and service management programs, facilitating cost assignment to specific repairs (so-called RO orders).
9. How does the system handle items that cannot be locked in a compartment (e.g., barrels of oil)?
The DigitStore software can manage not only what is physically inside the machine. It can be used as a central inventory system for the entire workshop (virtual warehouse), also tracking the issuance of bulky items based on manual data entry into the terminal by an authorized person.
10. What does the implementation process of the system by EVSolutions look like?
We operate comprehensively (turnkey). We start with an audit of your needs: analyzing the assortment, turnover, and selecting the optimal configuration of the machine's compartments. Then we deliver the device, conduct authorized installation, configure the software, and most importantly – train your team and management staff on how to use the system.
Supply Chain Software and Automation
The strength of DigitStore lies in its integrated warehouse software, accessible through a standard web browser. It operates in real-time, providing invaluable data for management, purchasing, and accounting teams.
System capabilities:
- Real-time monitoring: You always know who, when, and in what quantity took a specific material and to which order it was assigned.
- Order automation: The system continuously monitors minimum stock levels and can automatically send notifications to the purchasing department or generate direct orders to your suppliers.
- Instant reporting: Generate precise cost summaries that will help you better estimate repairs and control the service budget.
Inefficient management of consumables and small parts is a hidden cost that reduces the profitability of many workshops and body shops every month. Lack of control over expenditures, lost details, or downtime caused by stock shortages are issues that can be eliminated.
We are introducing to our offer DigitStore, – advanced, automated dispensing modules (so-called vending machines) specially designed for the automotive industry and craftsmanship. This system combines physical storage with intelligent software, giving you absolute control over the flow of materials in your company.
Key benefits of implementing DigiStore
Replacing a traditional tool cabinet with a smart dispensing system is an investment that pays off rapidly.
What do you gain?
- Reduction of material consumption by up to 50%: With full transparency and limiting withdrawals to specific employees, you eliminate waste and unjustified usage.
- Availability 24/7: Employees have access to necessary materials (e.g., tapes, abrasives, chemicals, safety equipment) at any time without needing to involve a warehouse worker.
- Full access control: Goods can only be withdrawn by authorized personnel after logging in (e.g., using personalized proximity cards). This eliminates mistakes and unauthorized withdrawals.
- Flexible configuration: The interior of DigitStore modules can be adjusted at any time to fit the size and rotation of the assortment in your service.
