SMART WEIGHING INVENTORY CONTROL
The system monitors changes in material weight and can support automatic quantity calculation where unit weight is known.
This helps reduce manual stock counting and improves visibility of material usage and replenishment.
LCD + LED GUIDANCE
Each storage position incorporates an integrated LCD + LED display to support material identification, status indication and operator guidance.
CONTROLLED ACCESS
The system supports face recognition and card-based user identification.
This helps restrict access to authorised personnel and improves accountability for material transactions.
TRI-COLOR INDICATOR LIGHT
A tri-color indicator light is supplied as standard to provide additional visual guidance and status indication during inventory operations.
SCANNING
An integrated scanner supports barcode-based material identification and structured replenishment workflows.

• Fasteners and fittings
• Maintenance materials
• MRO consumables
• Packaged consumables
• Production components
• High-value industrial inventory
• Larger or heavier materials
SUITABLE APPLICATIONS

WHY AKRIS HIVE?
Conventional storage racks and cupboards provide limited inventory visibility and often rely on manual counting.
AKRIS Hive combines open-access weighing shelves with controlled user identification, digital transaction records and automated weighing-based inventory monitoring.
The higher load capacity and open shelf configuration make it particularly suitable for materials that are too large or heavy for conventional smart locker compartments.
MODULAR EXPANSION
AKRIS Hive supports up to 1 main cabinet plus 9 extension cabinets.
This allows the system to grow as inventory volumes, SKU counts and departmental requirements increase.
