SMD BOX MSD
Automated MSD Dry Storage Cabinet

SMD BOX MSD provides a fully automated dry storage solution for moisture-sensitive devices (MSD) — automatic MSD level classification, Floor Life countdown tracking, and IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033D compliant storage. From the moment of inbound receipt, it precisely controls the exposure time of every moisture-sensitive component, eliminating the risk of moisture damage.

MATERIAL LOOP

The Storage Hub: MSD Dry Storage Across Three Steps

SMD BOX MSD handles Storage (Step 2), Retrieval (Step 3), and Return (Step 6) in the material loop — moisture-sensitive devices are automatically stored with drying upon registration, precisely retrieved by work order with Floor Life countdown activation, and remaining materials returned for continued dry protection after production.

The Storage Hub Across Three Steps — Store · Retrieve · Return

SMD BOX MSD handles Storage (Step 2), Retrieval (Step 3), and Return (Step 6) in the material loop, adding humidity control and exposure time tracking on top of fully automated storage to ensure end-to-end MSD compliance.

CORE CAPABILITIES

Full MSD Lifecycle Control — Zero-Risk Compliant Storage

SMD BOX MSD delivers complete moisture-sensitive device management across three dimensions: MSD level classification, compliant storage, and exposure tracking, ensuring every MSD component is fully traceable and compliant from inbound to production.

📋
Automatic MSD Level Classification
  • Automatically identifies component MSD level (Level 1–6)
  • Sets Floor Life countdown automatically based on level
  • Overdue alerts and expiry lockout prevent non-compliant components from reaching the line
Level 1–6 Full Coverage
💧
IPC/JEDEC Compliant Storage
  • Fully compliant with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033D international standard
  • Precise in-cabinet humidity control with automatic dehumidification
  • Real-time environmental data logging for audit traceability
J-STD-033D Certified
Precision Exposure Time Tracking
  • Floor Life countdown starts automatically upon retrieval
  • Countdown pauses on return, drying resumes to restore component condition
  • Full exposure history from warehouse to production line, audit-ready
Full Exposure Traceability

MSD Control Solutions — Two Solutions for Every Scale

SMD BOX MSD is the core of the fully automatic moisture control solution. For smaller MSD volumes or budget-conscious operations, NEO LIGHT MBB offers a semi-automatic alternative using MBB vacuum packaging for moisture protection.

💡
Semi-automatic alternative: NEO LIGHT MBB manages moisture-sensitive devices through MBB vacuum packaging combined with light-guided manual handling — ideal for production lines with a lower proportion of MSD components or limited budgets. Choose SMD BOX MSD for full automation, or NEO LIGHT MBB for a semi-automatic approach. Learn about NEO LIGHT →

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the SMD BOX MSD automated dry storage cabinet. For further inquiries, please contact our technical consultants.

Which MSD levels does the MSD cabinet support? How does it classify them?
SMD BOX MSD supports all IPC/JEDEC-defined MSD levels (Level 1 through Level 6). The system automatically identifies MSD level information by scanning component labels and sets the corresponding Floor Life time window based on the level. For Level 2a through Level 5a components, the system strictly enforces J-STD-033D exposure time limits with automatic alerts and retrieval lockout when exceeded.
How is the Floor Life countdown tracked?
SMD BOX MSD automatically starts the Floor Life countdown the instant a component leaves the cabinet, recording the exact moment it exits the dry environment. During production use, the system continuously accumulates exposure time. When the component is returned to the MSD cabinet, the countdown pauses and the drying environment begins restoring the component’s condition. The SMF platform logs the complete exposure history of every component, with full export support for audits.
What is the difference between the MSD cabinet and a standard dry cabinet?
Standard dry cabinets only provide a low-humidity storage environment without component-level tracking capability. SMD BOX MSD adds automatic MSD level classification, Floor Life countdown tracking, and J-STD-033D compliance management on top of dry storage. Every component’s exposure time, storage history, and MSD level is fully traceable from end to end, meeting audit requirements for automotive, medical, and other high-reliability industries.
When do I need a dedicated MSD cabinet? Is a standard SMD BOX not enough?
When your materials include MSD Level 2a and above moisture-sensitive devices, we recommend using SMD BOX MSD. This is especially critical for automotive electronics, medical devices, and aerospace industries where J-STD-033D compliance is a mandatory audit requirement. If your materials are primarily MSD Level 1 (moisture insensitive), the standard SMD BOX fully meets your needs.
Should I choose the MSD cabinet or NEO LIGHT MBB for semi-automatic moisture management?
The two serve different needs: SMD BOX MSD is a fully automatic solution with automated storage, automated drying, and automated tracking — ideal for production lines with a high proportion of MSD components and large volumes. NEO LIGHT MBB is a semi-automatic solution using MBB vacuum packaging with light-guided manual handling — suitable for lines with fewer MSD components or budget constraints. Both support Floor Life tracking and SMF platform management, and can be selected flexibly based on production scale.
