SMD BOX HYBRID: Smart Material Handling Solution

The SMD BOX HYBRID offers a sophisticated and efficient solution for storing and managing materials in the Surface Mount Technology (SMT) manufacturing process. By combining automation, vision systems, and advanced connectivity, the SMD BOX HYBRID streamlines material handling, increases space efficiency, and integrates seamlessly into your IT infrastructure.

Product Features

1. Material Type Handling
   The SMD BOX HYBRID is designed to store and automatically retrieve various materials, including PCBs, feeders, product modules, and containers. This enhances storage flexibility and optimizes material handling processes in your SMT production line.

2. Vision System
   An embedded vision system enables accurate material identification using 1D/2D barcode scanning. The system supports:

   • Material Type Recognition: Identifies the specific material based on code or label.
   • Object Detection: Detects objects for precise handling and sorting.

3. Compact Design
   The tower-like design of the SMD BOX HYBRID employs an internal robotic arm to maximize space usage. By storing materials vertically, the system optimizes footprint usage, allowing for efficient storage in confined spaces.

4. Connectivity Options
   Neotel’s Smart Material Flow (SMF) suite offers multiple connectivity options to seamlessly integrate the SMD BOX HYBRID with your existing IT infrastructure. The system supports integration via:

   • API: A predefined communication protocol that enables direct interaction between your IT system (e.g., MES/ERP) and the SMD BOX HYBRID.

Smart Material Flow (SMF) Suite

The SMF suite, powers the SMD BOX HYBRID and brings intelligent material management to the forefront of SMT operations. SMF includes:

• Work Order Management: Simplifies tracking and organizing materials for each production order.
• Component Profile: Tracks the characteristics of each component for better organization.
