Ossid Introduces Parts-Consignment Inventory for Its Overwrappers, Weigh Price Labelers, and Case Scales


Having high-wear parts onsite at customers’ locations improves uptime. The new consignment program also reduces customers’ inventory, shipping, ordering, and handling costs



ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. — Ossid, powered by Pro Mach, now offers a high-wear-parts-consignment inventory program for its lines of overwrappers, weigh price labelers, and case scales. Inventory of high-wear parts at customers’ locations helps to ensure greater overall equipment effectiveness through higher uptime. Customers only pay for parts consumed, not for parts in inventory.



This new Ossid program reduces many of the overhead burdens normally associated with inventory, including carrying costs, expedited shipping costs, handling, and billing.



Ossid personnel manage Ossid inventory onsite at customers’ locations. When in-house stock is reduced to a pre-determined level, an Ossid staff member issues a bulk replenishment order. This ensures adequate levels of parts on hand and minimizes shipping costs through bulk, not expedited part, shipping expenses. The customer’s parts personnel do not have to handle, oversee, or prepare paperwork for this forward deployed inventory.



Ossid’s highest selling 400 and 500 series overwrappers are the focus of this program. The 400 and 500 are used in the poultry, meat, and produce industries for case ready packaging, including leak resistant packaging. Other machines in the Ossid Parts-Consignment Program include the 1500 series weigh-price labeler and the CS100 in-motion case-weight scale.



“This is the latest in a series of Ossid’s initiatives, including 24/7 telephone parts ordering, to ensure we are meeting and/or exceeding Pro Mach’s ProCustomer service expectations,” said Rob Hukill, aftermarket parts manager, Ossid. “ProCustomer is all about recognizing that our responsibility to customer satisfaction and machine uptime doesn’t end when a machine or system is shipped, in fact it is just beginning.”
