Need extra storage space for PPE supplies? The D540neo vending machine solves this challenge

The D540neo vending machine is designed for companies looking to improve PPE distribution, streamline inventory management and maintain constant availability of materials directly at the workplace. This industrial vending solution includes an additional storage compartment beneath the drum, allowing convenient on-site storage of PPE and MRO products intended for later replenishment.

Built-in storage space – enhanced functionality for PPE and MRO products

The lower compartment of the D540neo vending machine provides practical storage for items that can be replenished into the drum at any time.

This feature is particularly useful when:

• the vending machine is serviced by an external supplier,
• the facility lacks dedicated PPE storage space,
• fast and regular replenishment is essential to maintain workplace safety.

Keeping the backup stock directly inside the vending machine ensures materials are always available – without allocating additional storage areas or relying on the client’s infrastructure.

Logistics optimisation and efficient on-site replenishment

Storing additional PPE and MRO stock within the device significantly improves the workflow of operators responsible for replenishment.

It eliminates the need for:

• transporting items across the facility,
• using external or client-owned warehouse space,
• planning extra storage capacity.

For companies, this means time savings, reduced logistical effort and smoother daily operations.

Full integration with the IDS system – complete control over PPE distribution

The D540neo seamlessly integrates with the IDS distribution system, enabling:

• full recording of PPE withdrawals,
• user limits and authorisation settings,
• detailed dispensing history,
• synchronised data across multiple locations.

This makes D540neo part of a comprehensive, scalable ecosystem for automated PPE and MRO product distribution.

Practical use case: improved PPE replenishment workflow

A PPE supplier services vending machines installed in a production facility. Previously, the backup stock had to be stored in the client’s warehouse or transported for each visit.

With the D540neo vending machine, the stock is now kept in the integrated lower compartment. This allows operators to replenish PPE and MRO products much faster and without dependence on the facility’s storage infrastructure.

The outcome?

• the supplier benefits from more efficient logistics and a better-organised replenishment process.
• the facility ensures continuous availability of PPE,

Why companies choose the D540neo vending machine

The D540neo enhances the entire PPE distribution process through its built-in storage space, enabling more efficient inventory management and reducing workload for on-site operators.

This solution received strong positive feedback from visitors at A+A 2025 in Düsseldorf, who highlighted its practicality and the tangible optimisation it brings to the replenishment process.
