In modern SMD assembly, intelligent near-the-line storage is essential for smooth operation.
While many manufacturers offer automated SMD storage systems, it might not always be the best solution for your needs.
- Can it store enough on the available square meters?
- Is it fast enough to retrieve and restore all required reels on time?
- Can it handle multiple tasks/jobs simulthaneously?
- Is is close enough to the line and feeder kitting area?
- Is it flexible enough to grow with your needs?
- Is it reliable enough?
- Does is offer a fast Return on Investment?
Studies show that 100% automation isn’t always most efficient.
