S.J Smith is proud to offer an extensive selection of products and equipment from names you know, at prices you can afford. We pride ourselves on being your one stop shop for all your welding, safety and industrial product needs.

Back in 2001 S.J.Smith realized that if we wanted to compete in the ever changing industrial market that we were going to have to offer our customers ways of reducing usage and waste. So after an exhaustive search we partnered with AutoCrib. We are now one of the largest independently owned welding, safety, and industrial supply distributorships to utilize vending machines at our customers locations. We have seen savings of as much as 35% at one customer alone. We not only sell, setup, and fill these systems but are also an authorized repair facility too. We are a one stop shop when it comes to your welding, safety and industrial vending needs.

"AutoCrib has been providing automated inventory control systems for manufacturing companies since 1995. The company is based in Santa Ana, California with sales offices in suburban Atlanta, Cincinnati and Chicago."

"The basic concept of "tool vending" has evolved into a wide variety of products that assist manufacturers in controlling perishable tooling, safety supplies, MRO supplies and other "indirect materials". The product line includes handheld scanners, automated lockers, automated cabinets, traditional vending, and robotic carousel systems. No other company provides such a variety of point-of-use dispensing technology. The systems are driven by AutoCrib's powerful software, which provides end-users with real time usage data and in many cases, updates their ERP systems. This allows manufacturers to dramatically reduce the cost of indirect supplies by as much as 50% through accountability and access control."

"To date, the company has over 3000 units installed throughout North America, Europe and Australia. The systems are sold primarily through a network of over 100 industrial distributors. With the support of AutoCrib, this network has built a reputation as being one of the best training, installation and support organizations in the business."
