Physical Supply Automation

Automate parts and equipment supply with one connected platformInstant 900

Secure, unattended access to tools, parts and consumables on the factory floor. Every withdrawal logged, every shelf set to sale or rental, with real-time inventory visibility.

  • Stop stockouts on the floor - 6 shelves with 3 to 8 weight-tracked slots know what's taken the moment it leaves
  • One cabinet, two business models - sell consumables and rent tools from the same unit, shelf by shelf
  • End the search for shared equipment - the Shaffle tool board keeps it visible, tracked and always returned
  • No keys, no supervision - workers unlock with the app, an RFID badge or the TC900 terminal

Powered by

Weight-cell tracking

Every slot sits on its own weight cell, resolving items from 15 g with modules rated 3, 5 or 10 kg per slot. Take an item and the system knows instantly.

Open, take, done

Unlock with the app, a badge or the TC900 terminal, take what you need, close the door. Every withdrawal is logged to the user — and charged only if the shelf is set to sale.

Sell, rent, or both

Set each shelf to sale or rental independently. Rentals stay tied to the user until returned, sales are charged automatically — one cabinet can do both at once.

Shaffle tool board

Add back and side boards with a shelf-frame of 8 hangers for tools — the Shaffle concept: buy, borrow, share. Access runs through the TC900 tech-kit with a 22-inch touch screen on a floor stand.

Shaffle

With the tool board, Instant 900 becomes a ShaffleStation

Shaffle is a smart ecosystem that combines autonomous kiosks and the Shaffle app to provide instant, 24/7 access to tools, equipment and everyday utilities. The app is the digital key — browse available items, unlock the station, manage rentals or purchases, and track usage in real time.

BUY · BORROW · SHARE
01 / RESERVE

Reserve

Reserve an item in the Shaffle app in advance, or go straight to the station if it is available.

02 / UNLOCK

Unlock

At the ShaffleStation, scan a QR code to unlock the kiosk securely.

03 / PICK UP

Pick up

Take the item. The system automatically logs who took what and when.

04 / RETURN

Return

Return the item to the station — the transaction completes and everything is logged in real time.

For operators

Full visibility into who has taken which item and when, flexible compartment layout and access rules, key management for shared assets — and upsell by pairing the station with Instant Coolers.

For users

Instant access to professional-grade tools and everyday essentials without the upfront investment — no storage, maintenance or repair worries, 24/7 from the phone.

Sustainability

Maximizing the use of shared equipment across many users reduces waste, overproduction and unnecessary ownership — a circular approach to tools and everyday utilities.

Configure for your range

Every shelf, your rules

The Instant 900 adapts to your operation. A shelf takes one full module with 3 slots, or any two half modules — 2, 3 or 4 slots each, rated 3, 5 or 10 kg — so one row runs anywhere from 3 to 8 slots. Add item shelves for small parts and hanger frames for tools, and set every shelf to sale or rental independently.

Every build with a plus sign is two half modules sitting side by side. The full module spans the whole shelf in one piece. All slots are 500 mm deep with 77 mm walls. A row can also be fitted as a shelf-frame with up to 8 hangers for tools that hang rather than sit in a slot.

Small items, fully tracked

The item shelf carries weight-tracked bins for the smallest parts — ear plugs, bits, fasteners, fuses, batteries. Every pick resolves from 15 g and is logged to the user like any other slot, and bins refill in seconds. Choose the 8-slot or 12-slot version, on the base item shelf.
