Inovaxe to Bring the New InoAuto SMART Mix Part Cart to IPC APEX 2016
February 18, 2016 | Inovaxe Corp.Estimated reading time: 2 minutes
Inovaxe will exhibit in Booth #2322 at the 2016 IPC APEX EXPO, scheduled to take place March 15-17, 2016 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The company will highlight its SMART InoAuto Mix part Storage System and its patented Smart InoMSD cabinet.
The InoAuto SMART Mix part cart stores 480 of 8 mm equivalent 7" reels and 160 of 8mm equivalent 13" reels. It also contains a 42" by 15" SMART Tray to store printed circuit boards, waffle trays, and or bulk materials. One platform can accommodate multiple part sizes.
Inovaxe will showcase its SMART InoAuto Storage Systems. The InoAuto Two Bay stores 1,120 7" SMT reels and the InoAuto Single Bay stores 560 7" SMT reels. All of the SMART systems are equipped with sensors and LED indicator lights, along with the InoAuto Locator software, and respond as if the reels have RFID on them. The operator will simply barcode scan the part number and quantity on a reel and place it into an empty Single Package Single Location slot. The InoAuto will report the position of the part to its database automatically.
The InoAuto Smart ultra-lean material handling systems will allow you to find a part in less than four seconds and return a part in less than eight seconds. The InoAuto Smart system will reduce material handling time by more than 70 percent, reduce reel storage space by 60 percent, reduce travel time by 60 percent, increase inventory accuracy and operator efficiency. The carts are mobile, store 560 reels in 0.23 square meters or store 1120 reels in 0.42 square meters, and the ROI is less than six months.
Inovaxe’s patented Smart InoMSD Cart is a true solution for managing moisture sensitive devices through its innovative individual cell design that stores multiple reel sizes and waffle trays. Included with each InoMSD unit is the revolutionary InoMSD tracking and timing software solution. The InoMSD software automatically starts the clock when the parts are removed from the MSD controlled environment, and calculates and reports when the parts MSD life is about to expire.
