Binner on Ubuntu 24.04

Overview

Binner is a self hosted parts inventory system for electronics: makers, hobbyists and professional engineers use it to catalogue components, track stock levels and locations, and find the right part fast. It presents a web interface for adding and searching parts, organising them by type and storage location, recording quantities and low stock thresholds, and attaching datasheets and metadata, with barcode scanning to add and look up parts quickly. Part details can be enriched from external supplier catalogues when you supply your own API keys, but this is entirely optional; the system runs completely standalone, keeping your inventory in a self contained database on the server you control.

It suits anyone who needs to know what components they have and where they are: an individual maker's home lab, a hackerspace or lab shared by a team, or an engineering department managing reels, trays and bins of parts across projects.

Common uses

• Catalogue and track an electronics component inventory with barcode scanning
• Share a searchable parts library across a lab, hackerspace or team
• Record quantities, locations and low stock thresholds for reorder
