SMT Intelligent Material Management
From Incoming Registration to Precise Retrieval — The Complete Solution
Neotel Technology provides full lifecycle material management for SMT electronics manufacturers — covering incoming registration, intelligent storage, on-demand retrieval, X-ray counting, and automatic return. Fully automatic and semi-automatic routes available.
The Complete Material Management Loop
SMT materials go through six steps from arrival to consumption: register, store, retrieve, produce, count, and return — forming a continuous cycle. Neotel covers five of these six steps — everything except production itself.
Establish digital identity
Intelligent bin management
FIFO guaranteed
Your production line
Update inventory records
Two Routes to Match Your Line Scale
The fully automatic route suits large-scale factories pursuing unmanned operation. The semi-automatic route suits small-to-medium lines seeking flexible, rapid deployment.
From incoming registration to return — zero manual intervention throughout. Data flows automatically, ideal for multi-line SMT factories with high compliance requirements.
Full-auto register
Full-auto storage

Full-auto counting
Light-guided picking + manual operation. Low investment, rapid deployment — ideal for small-to-medium lines or factories transitioning to smart manufacturing.
Semi-auto register

Fully Automatic vs. Semi-Automatic: How to Choose?
Choose the best-fit material management route based on your line scale, budget, and management requirements.
| Comparison | Fully Automatic Route | Semi-Automatic Route |
|---|---|---|
| Registration | NEO SCAN PLUS Full-auto feed + scan & label | NEO SCAN Manual scan + system entry |
| Storage | SMD BOX Fully automated storage & retrieval | NEO LIGHT Light-guided picking |
| Counting | NEO COUNTER X800 Full-auto high-speed X-ray | NEO COUNTER X400 Semi-auto X-ray counting |
| Line Scale | 3+ lines / high volume | 1–3 lines / small-to-medium volume |
| Staffing | Unmanned, fully autonomous operation | Requires operator involvement |
| Initial Investment | Higher | Lower |
| ROI Payback | 12–18 months | 6–12 months |
| Traceability | Full automated traceability, IATF / IPC audit-ready | Basic traceability with manual confirmation steps |
| Upgrade Path | Can upgrade to SMD BOX ONE fully integrated flagship | Any step can be individually upgraded to full-auto |
| All-in-One | SMD BOX ONE = register + store + count in one machine | Requires separate equipment per step |
Explore Products by Workflow Step
Each product family corresponds to a step in the material loop. Start from Step 1 — Registration — and build your complete material management system.
NEO SCAN Material Registration
Scan, label, and register incoming materials — the starting point of digital material management. Without registration, all downstream automation is blind management.
SMD BOX
Fully automated material storage hub — handles storage, retrieval, and return across three steps, the core equipment of the fully automatic route.
NEO LIGHT
Light-guided picking solution — low-cost intelligent material management with efficient human-machine collaboration.
NEO COUNTER
X-ray precision counting — after production, count remaining materials, update inventory data, and provide accurate records for return.
All-in-One: SMD BOX ONE
Integrates the three core devices of the fully automatic route into a single machine, covering every step of the material loop except production.
