Van Leeuwen acquired the CERVA VAM BOX through the distributor Tomis. The distributor highlighted several key advantages of the machine: 

• 24/7 automatic dispensing of PPE 
• Simple recording and tracking of PPE consumption by individual workers 
• The ability to set PPE selection limits per employee 
• Automatic restocking orders from the distributor 
• Significant time and cost savings 

Keeping record of issued PPE - the employee identifies himself with the access card and selects the required PPE. Their selection is immediately recorded in the filing system.

PPE issuance reduction – record keeping and the possibility to reduce employees’ consumption of PPE resulted in the reduction of PPE burn rate by 30 %

Automatic orders placed with the PPE distributor – CERVA products distributor, Verdatex company, manages the CERVA VAM BOX placed at Saft Ferak, has a constant overview of the status of items and refills the vending machine as needed.

Time saving - the warehouse manager has no longer to issue PPE and spends his time doing other work. Orders automation means reduction of workload for the purchasing department, too.

Van Leeuwen's SHEQ manager shared insights on how the vending machine has enhanced productivity within the company. 

"The main benefit of the automatic PPE dispensing system is the significant boost in overall work productivity. Previously, our quality manager was responsible for issuing protective equipment, a task that was often sudden and unpredictable. With the CERVA VAM BOX, he can now focus entirely on his primary responsibilities without interruptions from workers needing new PPE. Similarly, operators no longer need to find someone to issue them equipment—they simply get what they need from the machine. This leads to a smoother workflow, reducing delays and increasing productivity. Another major advantage is the ability to monitor PPE consumption by individual employees. Our record system allows us to see exactly how much and what type of PPE each employee has used."
