Smart Inventory Management

Eliminate human error and streamline your inventory with intelligent hardware sensors and powerful software integration. Perfect for manufacturing, labs, and any business with physical inventory.

Why Choose warecache?

Zero Human Error

Quantities are measured by the sensor bins, never typed in. Counting mistakes and data-entry errors disappear, and every client shows the same measured number.

Industry Agnostic

Part types define the schema and each type carries its own custom fields, so screws, reagents, cables, or ingredients are tracked on their own terms. Whether you're in manufacturing, research, engineering, or any other industry, warecache adapts to your workflows.

Advanced Analytics

Dashboard KPIs, low-stock and most-used tables, part lifecycle status, and automatic build-cost rollup from BOMs, with distributor price breaks feeding the numbers.

Seamless Integration

A REST API, the wc-api client library, Python distributor plugins, and single sign-on connect warecache to the tools you already run. KiCad, Odoo, and production-dashboard integrations are in development.

Cost Savings

Distributor plugins sync pricing and stock on a schedule, alternates show what is interchangeable, and cross-project stock visibility keeps you from buying parts you already own.

Real-time Monitoring

Low-stock thresholds, stale-sensor and end-of-life alerts, iPad notifications when orders change, and a full changelog of every change in the system.

Production Orders

Internal orders target a project version, list the parts you are short, and move through clear states from draft to completed. Run them from the desktop client or on the floor with the iPad app.

Open Source

All software is GPLv3. Hardware design files for the controller, the sensor KiCad template, and the bin enclosures are published, and the sensor interface is open so you can build your own bins.

Hardware That Does the Counting

Sensor bins measure what is inside them and a PoE container controller reports it to the server. No counting, no typing.

Container Controller

  • Connects up to 64 sensor bins
  • Powered over Ethernet, 12 V barrel jack fallback
  • Configured over USB as a flash drive
  • Isolated CAN-FD and RS-485 terminals

Weight Bins

  • Counts parts by weight, calibrated per part
  • Small: 250 g (8.8 oz) max sense weight
  • Large: 10 kg (22 lb) max sense weight
  • Bins move between cells and keep their identity

Switch Bins

  • One switch per slot for discrete items
  • Small: 16 slots, Large: 12 slots
  • About 30 g (1 oz) to actuate
  • Same connector and identity scheme as weight bins

Perfect for Any Industry

Manufacturing

Keep workbenches stocked with screws, components, and tools. Eliminate production bottlenecks and improve manufacturing productivity by automating inventory management.

Laboratory Research

Track consumables like pipette tips, glassware, and chemicals. Never run out of critical supplies during important experiments or research projects.

R&D Prototyping

Manage prototype components and prevent duplicate purchases. Track component lifecycles and reduce budgetary waste in your development process.
