iBin®: The first intelligent Kanban bin

iBin - First intelligent Kanban bin

iBin® is an optical ordering system that revolutionizes the entire materials industry in a sustainable way. In January 2013, we introduced the technology for the very first time.

The iBin® is a small a module with camera which is installed in the small parts bin. It captures a picture when the bin is delivered and rates this degree of filling at 100 percent. If the production employee now removes the parts, the intelligent module measures and calculates the percentage remaining. Without manual intervention, the module then triggers the order.

The quantity, number and ordering information for the item can be obtained at bin level via the built-in camera; this is then transmitted to the ERP system automatically.

Not only is it possible to ensure just-in-time delivery of small parts needed for production on a requirement-driven basis, but C-Parts can be supplied in real time using an image format.
