Hardware · Rotopoint Carousel

High-density carousel dispensing — more SKUs, less floor space, total item control.

Rotopoint's rotating drum design delivers up to 702 individually controlled compartments in a single machine — one of the most space-efficient ways to dispense high-volume consumables at the point of work. From PPE and MRO to cutting tool consumables, every item is dispensed to a named user, every transaction is logged automatically, and stock is replenished through your contracted supplier before it runs out.

Standalone or Add-on

Can be utilized as a standalone solution or incorporated as an add–on (no controller) frame. Each standalone can support up to 9 connected add-on frames, providing a max capacity of up to 7020 individual locations.

Three Models

Available in three standard models of 5, 7 or 13 hatches/shelves. 

Configurable

Each individual compartment can be divided into 2 or 3 separate sections to support an array of product sizes.

Control

VendTel software can manage access to provide individual item level control if required.

The Problem It Solves

Rotopoint replaces low-density, untracked storage with a single rotating drum that brings the item to the user — combining the highest compartment count in the SupplyPoint carousel range with full accountability for every transaction.

Without RotoPoint

rotopoint-before
excess walking
wasted time waiting
lack of traceability
  • High-volume consumables stored in open bins or shelving — no tracking of who takes what
  • Manual counting and reordering, with stockouts discovered only once it's too late
  • No record of who accessed calibrated equipment, gauges, or other high-value assets
  • Floor space consumed by low-density storage for high-volume items

With RotoPoint

Rotopoint is SupplyPoint's highest-capacity carousel dispensing system — an innovative rotating drum design that brings the item you need to you, rather than requiring you to search a fixed layout. With up to 702 individually controlled compartments in a single frame, and configurable column widths across up to three different compartment sizes per machine, Rotopoint is built for high-volume, relatively uniform items — PPE, MRO consumables, and cutting tool consumables — where density and simple, secure access matter most. Rotopoint can run as a standalone machine, an add-on frame to an existing SupplyPoint installation, or as part of a multi-unit system (up to 10 units, 7,020 locations) on a single computer. It runs on VendTel (touchscreen dispensing), WebSync (cloud management and reorder), and SupplyPointiQ (analytics). 

The Dispensing Workflow

From authentication to automated replenishment — in seconds.

Step 01 — Authenticate

RFID card, PIN, or barcode scan. VendTel identifies the worker and applies their access profile — role, department, and quantity limits.

Step 02 — Select and dispense

The carousel rotates to the correct compartment. The worker takes their item. The compartment door locks again. Multiple compartments can be selected in a single transaction, minimising time spent managing large volumes of stock.

Step 03 — Transaction recorded

Every issue is logged to a named user, item, quantity, and timestamp — automatically sent to WebSync. No paper, no manual count, no off-record consumption.

Step 04 — Secure return (where applicable)

For calibrated equipment, gauges, and other high-value assets, Rotopoint supports secure single-compartment return, controlling exactly where an item goes back to.

Step 05 — Replenishment triggered

When stock in any compartment reaches its reorder point, WebSync triggers a replenishment order to your designated contracted supplier — automatically.

Is RotoPoint the right solution for you?

Best for these applications:

  • High-volume consumable PPE — gloves, glasses, ear plugs, respirator cartridges
  • MRO maintenance consumables at high volume
  • Cutting tool inserts, drills, and related tooling accessories

Also works well for:

  • Sites prioritising maximum compartment density per square metre of floor space
  • Secure, trackable management of calibrated equipment, gauges, and other high-value assets
  • Sites needing to scale from a single frame to a large multi-unit installation over time

Variety of Item Sizes Accomodated

Narrow Range Wide Range
Rotopoint is optimised for high-volume, relatively uniform items rather than a wide size range in a single machine.

Powered by the SupplyPoint Platform

Rotopoint is a controlled dispensing machine. The platform — VendTel, WebSync, and SupplyPointiQ — is what makes it a managed inventory system.

FAQs

Questions, Answered.

Is Rotopoint just a vending machine?

No — Rotopoint pairs high-density dispensing hardware with the full VendTel / WebSync / SupplyPointiQ platform, giving item-level control, automated replenishment, and consumption analytics, not just point-of-use dispensing.

How does it integrate with our existing systems?

Rotopoint integrates into any existing SupplyPoint installation with differing hardware types (minimum version required: 4.2.5.20), so it can be managed alongside existing units from one account.

What kind of hardware is available?

Rotopoint is available in 9 variations, with 5, 7, or 13 levels and up to 54 columns, offering up to 702 compartments in a single unit.

How quickly will we see a return?

Returns come from reduced consumption, eliminated stockouts, and less staff time spent searching for or reordering items — a typical customer experience results in consumption reduction of ~30% compared against uncontrolled access to similar items. 

How many compartments does Rotopoint have?

 Up to 702 individually controlled compartments in a single frame. Multiple Rotopoint units can be linked on one computer — up to 10 units for a maximum of 7,020 compartments across a site. 

Can Rotopoint securely manage calibrated equipment or high-value assets?

Yes. Rotopoint supports secure single-compartment return, controlling exactly where a calibrated tool, gauge, or other high-value item goes back to for full accountability.

What happens if power is lost — can items still be retrieved from Rotopoint?

 Yes. Rotopoint includes a manual override that provides access to contents in the event of a computer failure.
