Hardware · LockerSense

No counting. No scanning. Just take what you need.

LockerSense uses weight-sensing scales, not manual counting, to track exactly how much has been taken or returned. Detecting items as light as 5 grams/0.18 oz and rated up to 8kgs/18lbs per compartment, LockerSense makes withdrawing and restocking high-volume items fast — take any quantity from a single compartment, and the scale does the counting.

Standalone or Add-on

Can be used as a standalone (with touchscreen & controller) or add-on and connected to other Lockers or SupplyPoint machines (up to 10 total frames).

Configuration

Scales are available in medium compartments sizes; up to 6 in an S4 frame and up to 18 in an S2 frame.

Specification

Standard Weighing Pad:

  • Minimum individual item weight 5grams/0.18oz
  • Maximum total weight of all items in one compartment –  8kgs/18lbs

The problem it solves

LockerSense replaces manual counting with weight-based measurement — making high-volume, high-turnover consumables fast to withdraw and even faster to restock, with accuracy that doesn't depend on anyone counting correctly.

Without LockerSense

excess walking
wasted time waiting
lack of traceability
  • Manual counting slows down every withdrawal and restock 
  • Workers travel to multiple compartments or locations to gather the quantity needed
  • Manual counts introduce human error into inventory records
  • Restocking requires a full recount to confirm what's on hand

With LockerSense

24/7 access
audit trail per user
automated reorder
  • Take any quantity from a single compartment — the scale calculates the exact count
  • No scanning or counting individual items, even for high-volume withdrawals
  • Restocking is just refilling — the scale recalculates automatically
  • Automated notifications catch scale issues (overload, out-of-service) before they affect accuracy

What LockerSense Manages

  • Consumables that are problematic to count/store individually
  • Items where transaction (withdraw or restock) speed is critical
  • High-volume items with lower individual-item control requirements
  • Buffer stock held in conjunction with other SupplyPoint hardware

LockerSense can accurately measure items weighing as little as 5 grams/0.18 ounces, making the management of small, high-volume inventory items quick and easy.

With a scale capacity of 8kgs/18lbs, LockerSense can also be used to track heavier, high-turnover items such as leather gloves or cleansuits.

Automated notifications keep you informed if there is an issue that threatens the accuracy of the scales (such as a scale overload). 

Using the VendTel software, LockerSense can stand alone, join with other LockerSense units, or join in installations with other SupplyPoint machines to serve your inventory control needs.

The Dispensing Workflow

From authentication to automated replenishment

Step 01 — Authenticate

Username, password, biometric identification, or card reader — individually or in combination. VendTel applies the worker's access profile and permissions.

Step 02 — Select and take

The door containing the items opens - simply take a handful of what you need.

Step 03 — Transaction recorded.

Item count is calculated based on weight, and every transaction is logged to a named user, item, and timestamp — a full audit trail of who, what, and where sent to WebSync.

Is LockerSense the right solution for you?

Best for these applications:

  • High-volume, small or uniform consumables needing fast, count-free withdrawal
  • Bulk restocking without manual recount

Also works well for:

  • Heavier, high-turnover items up to 8kg (leather gloves, cleansuits)
  • Sites wanting accurate consumption tracking without individual item scanning 

Investment Level

Lower Higher
Reflects the added scale technology on top of the base Locker hardware.

Level of Control

Low Individual Item
Accurate quantity tracking by weight, without individual-item control.

Variety of Item Sizes Accomodated

Narrow Range Wide Range
Works best for items with a consistent, known piece weight, rather than a wide range of item types in one compartment.

Powered by the SupplyPoint Platform

FAQs

Questions, Answered.

Is LockerSense just a vending machine?

No — LockerSense pairs weight-sensing hardware with the full VendTel/WebSync/SupplyPointiQ platform, giving accurate consumption tracking and analytics, not just point-of-use dispensing.

How does LockerSense count items without scanning?

Each equipped compartment has a high-resolution scale. Since the piece weight of a given item is known, the scale calculates exactly how many units were taken or returned based on the change in weight — no scanning or manual counting required. 

How does it integrate with our existing systems?

LockerSense is fully compatible with all existing SupplyPoint machines and runs on the same VendTel platform, so it can be managed alongside existing units, including standard Lockers, from one account. 

How quickly will we see a return?

Returns come from faster withdrawal and restocking, reduced labor spent counting stock, and more accurate consumption data — customers typically see measurable time savings within the first few months of deployment. 

How does LockerSense count items without scanning each one?

 Each equipped compartment has a high-resolution scale. Since the piece weight of an item is known, the scale calculates exactly how many units were taken or returned based on the change in weight. 

What is the smallest item LockerSense can detect?

 5 grams. 

What's the maximum weight LockerSense can handle per compartment?

 8 kilograms. 

Does LockerSense support device charging like the standard Locker?

 No. Charging is not available on LockerSense — the standard Locker's charging feature set is the right fit for chargeable devices.
