Did you know that with IDS you have everything under control?

Vending and dispensing systems often handle critical resources – from tools and consumables to personal protective equipment (PPE). That’s why it’s essential that every operation is properly logged and can be reviewed at any time. This is exactly what the event logging module in IDS provides.

How does activity logging in IDS work?

Every action performed in the system or on the vending machines is automatically saved in the event history. IDS records, among other things:

• who withdrew or returned a product,
• when and where the transaction took place,
• configuration changes in the machine or system,
• approvals made by authorized users.

This allows you to instantly check the history of any product or user, without manually searching through documents.

Business benefits

Operational transparency is not just about convenience – it’s a real support for daily management. IDS provides your company with:

• Security – every action is recorded, reducing the risk of misuse,
• Accountability – it’s easy to determine who was responsible for each operation,
• Transparency – full insight into processes in machines and the system,
• Audit support – quickly generate reports for internal and external audits.

Practical use cases

1. Tool control A maintenance manager notices a missing expensive tool from one of the vending machines. In IDS, they filter the operation history from the past seven days and instantly see who took the tool, when, and that it wasn’t returned. The situation is quickly resolved, and the tool recovered – without searching for the “culprit” across the company.
2. Safety audit During an inspection, the company must prove that first aid supplies were always available. IDS allows the generation of a complete history of issued items like bandages, masks, and disinfectants, along with dates and users. The audit goes smoothly, and the company demonstrates its commitment to the highest safety standards.
