CribMaster ProStock

CribMaster is a comprehensive inventory management system designed to streamline and optimize the management of tools, equipment, and supplies within industrial settings.

Background and Challenges

The acquisition prompted CribMaster to seek assistance in electro-mechanical redesigning of the Nexiant Point of Use Secure Drawer to address reliability issues and reduce costs. Phase 1.0 involved a comprehensive review of the existing product system, including CAD data, schematics, reliability, and failure data.

Critical issues identified during discussions with Nexiant, such as door malfunction, inconsistent latching, and loose pivot assemblies, were prioritized for resolution. The redesign aimed to maintain platform compatibility, refine subassemblies, and implement cost-effective manufacturing and assembly approaches.
