A single counterfeit component can ground an entire fleet and trigger millions in recall costs. Neotel delivers X-ray incoming inspection, project-isolated storage, and a 20+ year unbroken chain of custody to keep your supply chain AS9100D compliant from receiving dock to production floor.
Aerospace and defense electronics manufacturing demands the highest material management rigor — any gap can compromise flight safety and national security
The aerospace supply chain is a prime target for counterfeit semiconductors. A single fraudulent IC can cause catastrophic field failures. Visual inspection alone cannot detect sophisticated counterfeits — non-destructive X-ray analysis at the point of receiving is essential. AS5553 mandates a systematic counterfeit prevention, detection, and disposition program.
Defense programs require strict material segregation — components allocated to one program must never cross-contaminate another. Traditional warehouse zoning is too coarse-grained to enforce reel-level project ownership. Any commingling creates serious compliance exposure and potential security breaches under DFARS and ITAR regulations.
Aerospace products require an unbroken material traceability chain spanning 20 years or more. Any gap in documentation can jeopardize airworthiness certification and continued operational approval. Paper-based records are vulnerable to loss, degradation, and tampering, failing to provide the tamper-proof evidence regulators demand.
AS9100D audits require instant retrieval of complete material histories — source, storage conditions, handling records, and chain of custody. Manual audit preparation takes weeks and risks missing critical documentation. Non-conformances during audits directly impact contract execution and future bid eligibility.
Built on the SMF software platform and 4 integrated hardware systems, delivering end-to-end coverage from incoming inspection through isolated storage to authorized retrieval and audit

Every component is scanned and assigned a unique digital identity at receiving. Paired with X-ray analysis, each reel gets an authenticity record linked to supplier, lot, and program allocation. The chain of custody starts at step one.
NEO SCAN Registration →
Intelligent storage cabinets enforce program-level segregation with role-based access control. Every store and retrieve event is automatically logged. 20+ years of tamper-proof records create an impenetrable chain of custody.
SMD BOX Storage →
Light-guided picking directs operators to the exact target component. Program-authorized retrieval only — no unauthorized cross-program access. Every transaction generates a complete, exportable audit trail ready for inspector review.
NEO LIGHT Retrieval →Neotel’s solution provides built-in compliance with core aerospace and defense regulatory requirements — enforced by systems, not discipline
Complete material traceability chain and project-isolated access control satisfy all AS9100D requirements for aerospace product quality management systems.
X-ray incoming inspection combined with systematic traceability establishes a compliant counterfeit electronic parts avoidance, detection, and disposition program.
