How it works?
Start with the right complexity level
Pick L1–L5 based on how often staff issue supplies, how critical traceability is, and how far you want automation to go.
Map to devices
+ OS workflows
Use smart lockers/kiosks/modules combined with a central operating layer to run access, inventory, and service flows.
Measure impact
(hours → FTE)
Each level includes a conservative model translating daily operations into yearly hours saved and FTE equivalents.
L1 – Low Complexity
Self-service access to basic supplies and equipment, zero supervision
Warehouses, factories, and industrial sites lose a surprising amount of productive time on simple, repetitive actions: issuing PPE, handing out workwear, retrieving labels, or accessing bulky items stored under lock and key. These actions are operationally necessary but add no value and interrupt core workflows.
This category of solutions enables controlled self-service access to essential items, removing the need for supervisors or warehouse staff to manage basic distribution tasks. Deployment is fast, with minimal operational change and immediate impact.
This level is especially useful for warehouses, factories, and logistics hubs that want quick efficiency gains without changing processes.
What it solves for the business?
Removes supervisors from repetitive item handover
Reduces idle time for workers waiting on supplies
Ensures 24/7 controlled access to essentials
Improves accountability and reduces loss
How it works?
Workers access smart lockers using badges, PINs, or QR codes. Each pickup is logged, and inventory levels are monitored. No mechanical dispensing or complex workflows are involved.
Reduced supervisory workload
Faster task continuity on the shop floor
Minimal CAPEX, immediate rollout
Example solutions
Efficiency Calculation
In industrial environments, a large amount of staff time is spent issuing and tracking basic supplies.

per unit
What this means in practice:
Each unit removes the need for constant supervisory involvement in basic supply distribution. At scale, this replaces part-time floor or shift-supervisor workload.
L2 – Medium Complexity
Assisted self-service for consumables, tools, and safety refills
Many industrial operations require frequent access to consumables: labels, tools, safety refills, or returnable containers. Manually managing these flows creates bottlenecks and inventory inaccuracies.
This category introduces semi-dynamic dispensing that accelerates access while maintaining control and traceability.
What it solves for the business?
Reduces time spent locating and issuing consumables
Improves stock accuracy and refill timing
Limits misuse and overconsumption
Keeps production flowing without interruptions
How it works?
Workers select items from an interface, and the system dispenses them via trays or rotating drums. Usage is logged and connected to inventory thresholds.
Faster access to consumables
Lower indirect labor cost
Moderate CAPEX with fast payback

What this means in practice:
Each unit replaces a significant portion of warehouse or line-support labour dedicated to consumables management.
L3 - High Complexity
Automated distribution of tools, parts, and controlled materials
Tooling, spare parts, calibrated instruments, and hazardous materials are among the most staff-intensive processes in industrial environments. They require authorization, logging, compliance, and structured returns.
This category automates complete distribution workflows while maintaining safety and regulatory compliance.
What it solves for the business?
Eliminates manual issuing and logging
Improves compliance and audit readiness
Reduces downtime for technicians
Protects high-value or regulated assets
How it works?
Multi-module systems handle access validation, dispensing, usage logging, and returns. All activity is tracked centrally and linked to users or work orders.
Replacement of tool-room or parts-desk roles
Improved uptime for maintenance teams
Predictable operational costs

What this means in practice:
Each automated system replaces a full-time role in the toolroom, parts desk, or compliance support.
L4 – Very High Complexity
Autonomous supply zones inside warehouses and factories
Large industrial sites require multiple supply points: staff gear, packaging, batteries, cold-chain materials, or charging zones. Staffing each independently creates inefficiency and fragmentation.
This category consolidates multiple workflows into autonomous supply zones managed as a single operational unit.
What it solves for the business?
Eliminates fragmented staffing across supply areas
Improves safety and access control
Supports high-volume operations without staffing growth
Enables zone-level performance optimisation
How it works?
Multiple automated systems operate together as one zone, orchestrated centrally with shared inventory and access rules.
Replacement of multi-role support teams
Higher throughput per square meter
Strong operational predictability

What this means in practice:

L5 – Extra High Complexity
Fully autonomous logistics and industrial supply networks
At the highest maturity level, automation replaces routine logistics operations across entire warehouses, factories, and construction sites: storage, distribution, restocking, returns, and asset handling.
These solutions unify multiple zones and systems into a single orchestration layer, often across multiple sites.
What it solves for hotel groups?
Eliminates routine logistics staffing
Enables multi-site scalability without linear labor growth
Standardises supply flows and compliance
Provides full visibility across facilities
How it works?
Autonomous warehouses, supply stores, and logistics zones are centrally orchestrated, with supplier access, telemetry, and SLA tracking across locations.
Replacement of full routine logistics teams
Predictable OPEX at scale
Enterprise-level operational control
