The technology behind the management

No Kromi contract lives on paper. Every service rests on equipment installed on your shop floor and on a portal open for tracking what happens there.

Managing tools is not delivering boxes. It is knowing who took what, for which machine, on which shift and at what cost — and being able to prove it at month end.

So that this happens without creating work for your people, Kromi brings into the plant the dispensing equipment suited to each type of item and makes everything recorded there available in its own portal.

Dispensing at the point of use

Three formats, chosen by item turnover, by value and by the level of control the operation demands.

    • KTC — Kromi Tool Center
    • KTC — Kromi Tool Center
    • KTC — Kromi Tool Center
    • KTC — Kromi Tool Center
    • KTC — Kromi Tool Center

    KTC

    Kromi Tool Center

    Electronic cabinet installed on the shop floor. The operator identifies themselves, takes what they need and the system records the withdrawal on the spot — no storekeeper in between, no paper requisition, on any shift.

    • Withdrawal 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
    • Recorded by operator, machine and cost centre
    • Modular configuration to suit the type of item
    • Replenished by the Kromi team from real consumption
    • OTC — Kromi Open Tool Center
    • OTC — Kromi Open Tool Center

    OTC

    Kromi Open Tool Center

    Drawer cabinet under Kromi management, without automation. The client raises the request in the portal and our technician, who holds the key, picks and delivers the item. It works well where turnover is lower or the item does not fit the KTC.

    • Request raised in the Kromi Portal
    • Picked and delivered by the Kromi technician
    • Restricted access: Kromi holds the key
    • Same consumption record as the KTC
    • KS — Kromi Safety

    KS

    Kromi Safety

    The KTC principle applied to PPE. The worker identifies themselves and takes the equipment; the system records the issue with date, time and certification. The issue record stops being paper and becomes a searchable record.

    • Withdrawal identified by worker
    • Frequency rules and limits by job role
    • Electronic record ready for audit
    • Tracking of certification expiry dates

Tracking portals

Everything the equipment records reaches the portals. That is where your team sees consumption, cost and history without waiting for a report by e-mail.

Kromi Portal

Tool consumption, cost per part, tool life and withdrawal history. It is where the Tool Management operation becomes visible, from the KTC to the indicator.

  • Consumption by employee, machine and cost centre
  • Cost per part and how it moves over the period
  • Tool life and withdrawal history item by item
  • Balance in each dispenser and items being replenished

How we contract

One service, or all of them

The four fronts work together. You choose which ones go into the contract as your plant needs them — and what changes is not only the scope: it is having one point of contact, one invoice and the same management method over all of it.

    • MRO Management
    • PPE Management
    • Pre-Setting

    Tool Management + Pre-Setting

    For plants with frequent assembly changes that want setup out of the machine.

    • Pre-Setting

    MRO + Tool Management + PPE

    All the plant's indirect supply under a single management, traceable end to end.
