What is Kanban?
Kanban is an inventory management system based on actual consumption: when an item is used, its replenishment is automatically planned.

Next Box
Manual consumption reporting for material reordering
A traditional system that involves identified containers, managed directly at the customer's premises. When one is empty, the second is immediately available. The empty container is then collected, refilled, and returned. A simple, precise, and just-in-time solution.
K-Box
Digital system for code reading and automatic reordering management
It combines Kanban logic with automatic code reading. Each container is tracked, errors are reduced, and the entire flow is monitored. The system detects anomalies, updates data, and integrates with customer systems, but monitoring remains manual.
Clever Box
Advanced system with scales and automated supervision
The most advanced solution, with containers equipped with weight sensors and integrated scales. The system records consumption in real time and automatically generates orders. It is customizable, even for non-standard items, and drastically reduces time, errors, and costs.

Why choose the Kanban system?
In the fastener sector, characterized by a high variety of products and often unstable demand, companies must manage complex logistics flows and ensure production continuity.
Kanban systems meet this need, ensuring timely and continuous replenishment.
