Kanban 2.0: Cut Inventory & Handling by 40% with MOOS

Classic 1- or 2-bin Kanban keeps replenishment simple: when the last box is empty, you refill it. The catch? Each bin must hold a fixed quantity, which automatically sets the safety stock levels. That safety stock quietly ties up capital, swells storage space and triggers truck rolls that aren’t always needed.

MOOS transforms that static setup into a smart, adaptive system.
By discreetly adding a sensor to shelves, drawers, or bins, MOOS tracks real-time usage—no guesswork, no delay. Reorder decisions are no longer based on an empty bin, but on actual consumption patterns. Every SKU gets a dynamic threshold tailored to demand, lead time, and criticality.

Why Upgrade Kanban with MOOS?

Old Kanban	Kanban + MOOS
Fixed bin sizes = excess inventory	Smart restock levels cut inventory by up to 40%
Refill only when a bin is empty	Refill before stock runs out—no more "panic picks"
One signal: empty bin card	Continuous usage data, with alerts and timestamps
Blind to anomalies	Detects shrinkage, mis-picks, and demand spikes instantly
More bins → more touches, more trips	Fewer bins, fewer replenishments, less labor

How It Works: Smarter, Not Harder

• Retrofit, don’t rebuild
  Clip or stick MOOS sensors onto existing bins, drawers, trolleys or cabinet shelves—no wiring, no IT project.

• Set smart thresholds
  In the MOOS portal, assign a minimum stock level per SKU (based on demand history, lead time and criticality). The system watches fill-level or pick counts, not bin status.

• Automatic triggers
  When usage nudges the threshold, MOOS pushes an order to your ERP/WMS or emails the vendor—hours or days before the bin would run dry.

• Continuous optimisation
  Analytics reveal slow-movers (shrink the threshold) and fast-movers (raise it or switch to consignment). Inventory and route plans keep improving—no spreadsheets needed.

These benefits can be realized across multiple industries that currently use a Kanban replenishment system, including industry and hospitals.

Less Stock. Fewer Trips. More Control.

All without sacrificing Kanban simplicity.
