12/03/2025

Launch of the SAM'URAÏ range of automated smart storage units

In response to the industrial constraints of its user-customers in the energy, transport, defence, construction and automotive sectors, SAM OUTILLAGE launches its SAM'URAI range of Automated Smart Storage Units.

This range of connected distributors is suitable for small and large organisations alike for the distribution of consumables and more specific and sensitive equipment.
It offers even greater flexibility and profitability for industrial companies.
It has been designed for Lean Manufacturing and includes SAM TOOL Manager software on each device. This software can be used to manage and keep track of all your operations, as well as to manage your equipment and tools.

It is a highly precise analysis tool, as each interaction can be traced, recorded and analysed, with direct access for anyone at any time via the interface.

To enable the development of these vending machines, SAM Outillage relies on a connected solution, enabling remote management and parameter setting: SAM TOOL Supervisor. Thanks to this interface, it is now possible to monitor the stock status of all products, consumables, tools and MRO processes, remotely.

This solution has been thought out as a control tool and designed to adapt perfectly to the requirements of the industrial sector. It has a user-friendly and intuitive interface, while offering a very complete user experience.

A new place favouring exchanges for industrial creation, innovation and design in St-Etienne

Inaugurated in 2019 and representing an overall investment of €4 million, the aim of the SAM Center is to become a place totally focussed on innovation.

SAM thus has a dynamometry laboratory making it possible to manufacture Dynatech mechanical wrenches as well as electro-mechanical and electronic wrenches, not to mention DYNASAM® 4.0 connected torque wrenches, a production line for tools and specific equipment for automotive maintenance and repairs such as the X'Drainer® drainer, the Kap'SAM® starting booster or secure HGV hydraulic jacks, and also enabling the manufacture of customised trolleys for our customers (more than 10 basic dimensions, with 5 to 10 drawers, more than 10 colours, etc.) and SERVI'SAM 4.0® smart connected trolleys.

SAM thus creates an ideal space for manufacturing its most technically advanced products while supporting the upskilling of its teams via a training centre and commercial premises housing a new sports hall, two restaurants and a bakery.
