NEO SCAN
Semi-Automatic Material Registration System

NEO SCAN establishes a unique digital identity (UID) for every SMT incoming reel — scanning supplier barcodes, generating unique codes, and binding material information in just 3 seconds. Supporting 12+ industrial barcode formats with a 99.8% recognition rate, it integrates seamlessly with SAP, Oracle, and other major ERP/MES systems as the first step in the material management closed loop.

MATERIAL LOOP

The Starting Point of the Material Loop: All Traceability Begins with Registration

NEO SCAN operates at Step 1 of the SMT material loop — generating a unique ID (UID) for every incoming reel. With this digital identity established, all subsequent storage, retrieval, counting, and return operations achieve precise tracking and intelligent scheduling.

The Starting Point of the Material Loop — Every Reel’s Digital Identity Begins Here

NEO SCAN establishes a unique ID (UID) for every incoming reel through barcode scanning. This is the prerequisite for all downstream automation — storage, retrieval, counting, and return — to achieve precise traceability. Without registration, the closed loop cannot exist.

CORE CAPABILITIES

Three Core Capabilities for Material Quality Control from the Source

NEO SCAN focuses on three dimensions — barcode scanning, identity creation, and system integration — building a complete digital profile for every incoming reel and preventing wrong, missing, or expired materials from reaching the production line.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the NEO SCAN semi-automatic material registration system. For further inquiries, please contact our technical consultants.

How does NEO SCAN integrate with existing MES/ERP systems?
NEO SCAN offers three standard integration modes: RESTful API, Direct SQL, and Webservice. We provide complete API documentation and a test sandbox environment. With our experienced technical team, integration typically takes just 3 business days. Verified integrations include SAP, Oracle, and other major ERP/MES systems.
Can label fields and layouts be customized?
Absolutely. NEO SCAN includes a built-in dynamic template engine that lets you freely define label templates, including company logos, special identifiers, supplier lot numbers, production dates, LOT numbers, and any other fields your operations require — adapting to diverse production line needs.
How long does system deployment take?
Our standardized solution can be deployed within 7 business days. We also provide comprehensive remote maintenance and technical support services to ensure stable system operation.
How do I choose between NEO SCAN and NEO SCAN PLUS?
NEO SCAN is ideal for small-to-medium batch production lines with manual material receiving, where operators register each reel individually. NEO SCAN PLUS is designed for large-scale production lines and unmanned warehousing, supporting AGV delivery, automatic vision recognition, and automatic labeling. Both generate identical UID formats, ensuring seamless downstream compatibility. View detailed comparison →
What label materials and sizes are supported?
NEO SCAN is equipped with an industrial-grade thermal transfer label printer supporting PET, high-temperature, anti-static, and various other label materials compatible with common SMT production line label specifications. Specific materials and sizes can be flexibly configured based on actual requirements.
