Inovaxe to Showcase New LS350 at SMTA Dallas Expo
March 15, 2023 | InovaxeEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Inovaxe, a world leader and provider of innovative material handling and inventory control systems, will exhibit at the SMTA Dallas Expo & Tech Forum, scheduled to take place Tuesday, March 28, 2023 at the Plano Event Center in Texas. The Inovaxe team will showcase the new LS350 Smart rack with four rows of 7"reel storage for a maximum capacity of 192, 7", 8mm reels in less than 1.6 square feet of floor space.
The LS350 includes an integrated display running the standard InoAuto software, with additional features optimized for lineside usage, as well as an integrated 1D/2D barcode scanner. The Line Side Series racks can operate as standalone storage, or as part of a complete InoAuto system, and can interface directly with pick-and-place machines and MES systems to automate production operations.
LS350 racks can operate as stationary storage that stays on the production line, or they can be equipped with a battery to provide mobility – allowing operators to move racks back and forth from production lines and storage areas. The Line Side (LS) series of racks also are available to store 13 inch, 15 inch and mixed reel storage.
These new solutions will streamline SMT material handling processes by decreasing handling time, reducing errors and manual data entry, stopping line-down occurrences and eliminating the black hole of WIP.

I even experimented with developing photos in the bathroom, though I usually dropped the film off at a Kodak center and received the prints two weeks later, only to discover that some images were out of focus or poorly framed. Today, every smartphone contains a high-quality camera capable of producing stunning images instantly.
