Specifications

SMD BOX XLC

The SMD BOX XLC is a cutting-edge container-based storage system that streamlines the handling of SMT reels, cables, and wires. Unlike conventional piece-picking systems, it features an internal vertical lift module for efficient container picking and putting. With seamless connectivity, high traceability, and dynamic reporting, the SMD BOX XLC provides a robust solution for managing high-volume and varied electronic materials.


Features

Feature Description
Container Picking Employs an internal vertical lift module for automated container picking and putting.
SMT Reel Storage Allows high-volume reel storage in ESD containers within a controlled temperature environment, ensuring economical and efficient storage.
Cable & Wire Handling Automates the management of cables and wires, critical for automotive electronics and other industries, regardless of size or type.
Traceability Tracks material movement with high-grain data, storing component Reel IDs and counting images in a secure database for verification.
Dynamic Reporting Provides real-time, customizable reports and dashboards for smarter decision-making.
Connectivity Seamlessly integrates with IT systems (ERP/SCM/MES/WMS), offering real-time updates on material usage and inventory.


How It Works

  1. Container-Based Storage:

    • Unlike traditional SMD BOX systems (SISO/MIMO/XLR), the XLC focuses on container picking for efficient handling of diverse materials.
    • The internal vertical lift module automates the process of retrieving and storing containers.
  2. Material Management:

    • SMT Reels: Stored in ESD containers within a controlled temperature environment, ensuring protection and efficient use of space.
    • Cables & Wires: Automates the handling of these critical materials, supporting varied sizes and ensuring a steady supply to production.
  3. Traceability:

    • Tracks material movements with high-grain accuracy.
    • Stores Reel IDs and counting images in a database for auditing and verification purposes.
  4. Real-Time Reporting:

    • Customizable dashboards and dynamic reports provide actionable insights for material and production planning.
  5. Connectivity:

    • Powered by Smart Material Flow (SMF) software, the SMD BOX XLC integrates with existing IT systems to provide accurate, real-time data on component usage, storage, and retrieval.

Powered by SMF

The SMD BOX XLC operates on Smart Material Flow (SMF) software suite, which offers a comprehensive range of features:

  • Materials Receiving: Streamlined intake process.
  • Automated Storage/Retrieval: Maximizes efficiency in managing inventory.
  • AGV Control: Supports integration with Automated Guided Vehicles for unmanned operations.
  • Component Counting: Ensures precise inventory levels.
