Keeping your bins full just got a lot easier – and a lot faster. Each IRWIN Intelligent Bin (I²B) automatically detects inventory levels and instantly sends alerts, eliminating the need for counting trips and “milk runs”. That means no more safety stock, no more emergency orders, and more importantly, no more lines down. It’s the automated, lean bin solution you’ve been waiting for.

Multiple Detection Levels

Multiple detection levels

IRWIN Intelligent Bin Systems work with the Apex Trajectory Cloud™ platform to provide data on up to five levels of fill-status per bin. You’ll get 24/7 visibility, insights, and analysis to optimise your operations, inventory and processes. You’ll also eliminate disruptive and expensive out-of-stocks, thanks to multi-level monitoring and automated reorder alerts sent straight to IRWIN for informed replenishment.

Streamline your supply chain

Consolidation of vendors across many possible part categories means fewer orders and expedites, while providing economies of scale, lowering incoming freight costs, improving quality interaction, and increasing trust. You get reduced, but assured, inventory, and space-savings; allowing your organization to optimize your resources, focus on core competencies, and meet strategic goals.

Keep bins full and manufacturing lines running

IRWIN Intelligent Bin Systems eliminate inefficient manual bin counts and stock outs. That keeps production lines and assembly cells uninterrupted – and profitable.

It’s time to take control

Discover how IRWIN Intelligent Bin Systems can help you reduce wasted steps, ensure more accurate and less costly processes, and achieve true productivity across your organization.

    Phoenix Contact: Versatile in Use – The New Universal Tools

    The Unifox-MP multifunctional pliers with ergonomic two-component handle combine six or seven functions in a single tool. They make it possible to not only grip, bend, and cut wires, but also to strip cables and crimp ferrules. Their angled tip can be used to easily pierce and deburr flush-mounted sockets. While the Unifox MP 6-1 can be used to cut cables without crushing, the Unifox-MP 7-1 has a diagonal cutter. This means that fine, medium-hard, and piano wires can be effortlessly cut to length. In addition, the pliers provide a crimping area for insulated ring cable lugs. The Unifox-Wrench pliers wrench combines the functions of pliers and a wrench. Ideal for gripping, holding, bending, and turning nuts and bolts, it offers continuous adjustment via push button and an integrated scale for quick and easy setting of the wrench size. The smooth gripping jaws, which can be moved in parallel, protect sensitive surfaces against damage. Thanks to the leverage ratio of greater than 10:1, the pliers wrench ensures a high clamping force and therefore a secure hold. The Unifox-LM “Linemans” combination pliers are ideal for gripping, bending, and twisting wires as well as for pin crimping uninsulated cable lugs. The ergonomic two-component handle ensures comfort, while the toothed gripping surfaces and the additional gripping area below the joint provide optimum grip. With the extra-long blades with a cutting hardness of 62-64 HRC, the Unifox LM offers optimum cutting performance and durability.

    IDEAL: Infrared Thermometer Dual Laser (IRT)

    The IDEAL Dual Laser Targeting Infrared Thermometer (IRT) is your go-tool for precise, non-contact temperature measurements. With a 12:1 distance-to-spot ratio, its dual laser targeting system uses two red lasers located above and below the IR sensor to outline the area being measured, ensuring pinpoint accuracy. The adjustable emissivity feature further enhances measurement precision, adapting to different surfaces for the most accurate readings. This versatile IRT displays the actual temperature along with four selectable additional measurements (MIN, MAX, AVG, DIF), and features user-programmable HI and LO alarms. It measures temperatures ranging from -26° to 932°F (-32° to 500°C), making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The backlit LCD display ensures visibility in poor or zero lighting conditions, and the laser targeting system can be toggled on or off as needed. Built for durability, the IRT includes an industrial-grade over-molding and a lanyard tie-off point for enhanced grip and drop protection. Additional features include HOLD, MIN/MAX/AVG/DIF readings, high/low visual and audible alarms, lock measurement for continuous monitoring (with the option to mount on a standard camera tripod), and selectable auto power-off functions. This Infrared Thermometer is a versatile, professional-grade tool that will quickly become an essential part of your toolkit.
