Abstract: An example asset management device includes an enclosure having an aperture extending across a front plate of the enclosure; a plurality of shelving units; a vertical carousel disposed within the enclosure to support the plurality of shelving units, the vertical carousel having at least one horizontal axis of rotation and configured to rotate about the at least one horizontal axis of rotation to move the shelving units vertically within the enclosure until a selected shelving unit is aligned with the aperture; a door unit removably secured in the aperture, the door unit comprising: a locking element configured to secure the door unit in the aperture; a plurality of doors, each door configured to move between an open position to allow access through a portion of the aperture to a corresponding region of the selected shelving unit and a closed position configured to restrict access through the portion of the aperture.

Abstract: An example bulk material dispensing apparatus includes: a frame; a hopper supported in the frame, the hopper configured to contain a bulk material for dispensing by the dispensing apparatus and having a hopper outlet; a feeding unit interconnected with the hopper outlet, the feeding unit configured to receive the bulk material from the hopper outlet and comprising: a feeding tube; and an auger disposed in the feeding tube, the auger configured to rotate to drive the bulk material received from the hopper outlet to be dispensed from a dispensing outlet; and a controller interconnected with the auger, the controller configured to: receive a dispensing request specifying a quantity of bulk material to dispense; and control the auger to rotate to dispense the quantity of bulk material.
