The TwistPro vending machine from Brütsch/Rüegger Tools

Cost transparency, invoicing to cost centre

Consumables are often used irregularly. Do you know how much material has been purchased by which cost centre?

Consumables and PPE are items that are needed again and again but it is almost impossible to clearly measure the consumption itself. In most cases, there is only one cost centre for such materials — this then shows a large amount at the end of the year. Wouldn't you like to know where and why your costs were generated?

Your benefits at a glance:

• Clear identification: Registration by badge or login
• Transparent billing: Costs are automatically assigned to the correct cost centre
• Full control: You have an insight into your costs and consumption at all times
• System with optimisation potential: Transparency gives you the foundation to make a clear decision about future savings potential, based on data

Traceability/consumption history

• How many pairs of protective glasses do your employees need?
• Are your employees getting the correct PPE?
• Which items are used more often than others and in which area?
• Do you know exactly how your material shrinkage happens?

With conventional material dispensing, none of these questions can be answered without a great deal of effort!

With the TwistPro vending machine from Brütsch/Rüegger Tools you can view and control your entire material requirements transparently.

Your benefits at a glance:

• Easy removal: Sign in via badge or login details, providing a clear identification of the user and authorisation level
• Transparent consumption: View all withdrawals and fillings centrally — you maintain an overview of costs and consumption and can thus optimise your product sets in a targeted manner
• Automatic reordering: No loss of productivity or delays due to missing parts, the vending machine automatically triggers orders when necessary
• Protects employees: Transparently ensures a minimum standard of occupational safety — the machine allows you to identify who is not removing the correct personal protective equipment.

Unforeseen incidents occur and the consequences can be significant — so it is important you are prepared.

Turn 1 into 2.2 — prevention pays off!

As an employer, you are obliged to provide your employees with personal protective equipment (PPE) (source: OR — art. 328 C). But this does not mean that paying for personal protective equipment has no benefit to you. In addition to protecting the health of your employees as the most important asset in the company, it is also economically sensible.

The magic figure is 2.2 — because this is the benefit factor by which every Swiss franc invested in occupational health and safety increases, according to a study. Experts also call this "return on prevention", ROP for short. This means that the value of a Swiss franc spent by a company on occupational safety increases to CHF 2.20 (source: DGUV e.V. | IVSS | BG ETEM)

Are you familiar with the following situations?

• The last pair of cut protection gloves has been removed and they have not yet been reordered.
• The material dispensing point is closed and now your employee needs a pair of cut protection gloves to load parts into the machine.
• The employee borrows gloves from a colleague but they do not offer the required level of protection for the task.
• Not knowing any better, the employee continues to work without cut protection gloves and an accident happens.

We have the practical solution for you — the TwistPro vending machine:

• Is always open: Whether early in the morning, on the late shift or at the weekend, your employees are always guaranteed to receive the necessary protective equipment to work safely. 
• Automatically reorders: Automatic stock checking means there is always enough protective equipment available. 
• Has exactly what you need: Your employees always get exactly what they need to perform their work thanks to dedicated authorisation roles. For example, they receive exactly the right cut protection glove to protect them from cuts! 

Protect your employees around the clock — because good personal protective equipment pays off twice.

Don't give SARS CoV-2 a chance!

During the pandemic, the various protective measures are a necessary evil for most companies. Where these measures are lacking, the risk of Covid-19 infection increases and this puts your business at risk.

Are you familiar with the following situations?

• Face masks are mandatory in your company — due to a lack of supplies, one of your employees does not have a mask and unintentionally infects other colleagues.
• You receive an external visitor — but this visitor has no face mask, risking his health and that of others while also breaking FOPH (Federal Office of Public Health) rules.
• You have to continually check stock levels of masks, disinfectant and other necessary hygiene items — this costs you a lot of time and money while also being stressful.

We have the practical solution for you:

• Continuously supplied: Your employees and visitors always have transparent access to the necessary protective equipment.
• Compliant with FOPH requirements: The vending machine lets you ensure compliance with FOPH requirements regarding protective measures within your company at all times.
• Social distancing: For as long as the Covid-19 social distancing measures are required, the vending machines reduce contact between employees.
• Full (cost) control: The vending machine thinks for you — thanks to automatic reordering and transparent consumption history you have everything under control. This allows you to focus on the most important projects.

Functional industrial hygiene does not have to be expensive or complicated!

No downtime in production

Whether you have to purchase a chocolate bar, a screwdriver or a measuring microscope — the effort required to order is similar. The problem: Often, the process costs for placing the order exceed the actual value of the goods. Continuous availability of consumables not only ensures that production keeps operating but can also significantly reduce your operating costs:

100% availability around the clock and full cost control

Everyone needs office supplies — but their continuous availability and procurement should not tie up important resources in the company. Otherwise, there is a risk of high process costs and reduced productivity — are you familiar with this situation too? 

How often do you experience this? In the middle of preparing for an important presentation, your pen runs out of
ink while you're working in the office or your computer mouse runs out of batteries. Of course, the sticky notes are not available in all the required colours and you have left the USB stick you urgently need at home.

But don't panic, we have the practical solution:

• Continuously supplied: Your employees always have transparent access to important office supplies such as batteries for their computer mouse.
• Full (cost) control: The vending machine thinks for you — thanks to automatic reordering and transparent consumption history, you have everything under control. So you can focus on the essential things.
