Dry Tower Automated Storage System

Smart Factory storage – optimized process for component handling and storage

dry-tower-SMD reel warehouse

The Dry Tower automated storage system from Totech is an SMD reel warehouse comprising integrated drying and storage with complete operator free material handling. Featuring mature, proven drying technology and WMS-System integration capabilities, the system is totally modular & can be configured for different size & storage requirements. All relevant data for processing components is saved into a data base, from entering the system through to the retrieval of components for production creating a fully automated, Smart Factory, safe storage system for all electronics production environments.

The Dry Tower can be connected to different inventory control systems ( WMS ) through standard interfaces. Automated input and output at a central point reduces personnel time. Incoming components are determined by image size recognition as reels or trays and are automatically fed into the system.
