Storage & MSL Management on many levels
The MSL software enables manufacturers of any size to comprehensively
maintain control of all their component inventory and particularly their moisture sensitive devices.
Whether integrated with existing ERP and MES systems or used in a standalone
fashion, real time monitoring and traceability of moisture sensitive inventory helps manufacturers on the path to achieving their industry 4.0 goals.

Dynamic calculation of remaining floor alife time with real-time sensor values
Drying times are dependent on the temperature and relative humidity. It is possible to use real-time sensor data for the calculation of drying times, thanks to a direct connection between the software and the cabinet.
Drying times according to IPCJ-STD-033D, Totech Reference Table or user defined
The software allows the user to set up different reference tables for the drying times. This ensures that the drying times always correspond to the requirements of the user
Multi value barcode scanning with barcode / QR code scanner
Barcodes can contain more than one variable. The software supports multi value barcodes and enables auto-fill of the values to the correct fields upon scanning with a barcode or QR code scanner.
Logging of all loading and unloading processes
Each process managed by the software is logged, and it allows the generation of reports based on user, timeframe, material type, etc. It is also possible to combine different report variables.
Real-time status of remaining floor life
The material overview gives an easy view into the floor life status of each component. The user can easily see if a component is in storage or taken out, how long it will take until it is completely dried, at what time it will be dry, how long it can stay on the shop floor before it has to be reset again, etc.
Colour coded warnings for soon to expire or expired components
The material overview gives an easy to see coloured indication for components that are soon to expire or expired. The colours stand out clearly from the rest, so that components can be taken out of production when a floor life reset is necessary.
Real-time overview of component storage locations
The material overview also displays the storage location of each component, which means that the user doesn’t have to spend time searching for the required components.
Real-time display of humidity and temperature
Since the software can communicate directly with the cabinet for dynamic calculations of the remaining floor life time, it also enables a view of the humidity and temperature inside the cabinet.
Data management of multiple storage locations
More than one storage location can be connected to the software, which allows for sensor value readouts of different cabinets and for different drying conditions.
Automatic device recognition
New devices that are to be set up within the software are registered by using an auto-scan function within the software. This eliminates setting wrong connection details and makes the process much faster.
Multi-user configuration with different authorisation levels
Each function within the software can be blocked or authorized for different user levels. Each user registered within the software is assigned to their allowed authorisation level.
Optional easy to implement interfaces to ERP / MES (i4.0)
Integration within an existing ERP / MES system allows for further automation of component logistics and stock management. All information is then stored in one central location, which eliminates even more potential errors.
Optional Pick by Light integration
The software has an option to integrate Pick by Light solutions, which will allow visual indication of storage locations during ‘store-in’ and ‘take out’.
Benefits
of the MSL Software
Do you want to know more about the MSL software or the endless possibilities of Smart Connect?
Full traceability of all stock movements
Each process in the software is logged, and it enables the generation of reports based on user, timeframe, material type, etc. It is also possible to combine different report variables for more comprehensive reports.
Visualisation of sensor data in table format
The software shows the humidity and temperature values inside the cabinet to which it is connected in table format. It allows the user to verify the sensor values which the software is using to calculate reset times.
Significant reduction of loading and unloading times
There is no longer a need to manually register and enter component information on stock management lists. Simply scan the component to be stored and scan the storage location to confirm store-in. Upon removal, scan the material type that’s required, and the software recommends which component to take out and where it i
Minimizes operator error and eliminates risks of picking incorrectly
Since most steps are automated, operator error is minimized.
Analysis and evaluation of component use
The reports function enables the generation of reports based on component use. These reports allow for proper evaluation and decision-making for future component purchases.
Improves productivity and product reliability
The ‘store-in’ and ‘take out’ processes are mostly automated. This means there’s less time required for these processes. Reliability of the final products is ensured thanks to the automated floor life reset calculations and warnings upon expiration.
Optional ERP / MES interface integration allows for storage management into production management
Integration within an existing ERP / MES system allows for further automation of component logistics and stock management. All information is then stored in one central location, which eliminates even more potential errors.

Smart Connect Cabinets
Reliable Cabinet & Component Monitoring on a Cabinet Level
XSD Dry Cabinet Series
High-End Technology
Perfection in every detail
The XSD/XSDB/XSDV series of drying cabinets provides the most advanced storage and drying process available including uniform heat up+ to 60°C and ultra low RH less than 0.5% while consuming a tiny fraction of the energy used by conventional methods. Even with frequent door openings, RH level restores within seconds
MSD Dry Cabinet Series
Modular Design
Grows with your demand
A cabinet that grows with your demands, the MSD series of drying cabinets is the first modular dry cabinet that can be expanded as your storage & drying needs increase. The basic MSD can be expanded to 4800 liters without need for additional dry units, delivering precise humidity control to less than 0.5% RH with traceability to a computer or network.
HSD Dry Cabinet Series
Extra-Fast Drying
Maximum process safety
The HSD Series of desiccant dry cabinets from Totech meets the challenges of humidity on complex MSDs. HSD drying cabinets deliver high accuracy humidity control to RH less than 0.5%, boast recovery times of three minutes or less, and closed loop regeneration that adapts to the load on the cabinet and the frequency of door openings.
SD+ Series Storage Cabinet
Precision Drying
Economical & precise
The SD+ series of Super Dry cabinets from Totech are fully network compatible versions of the SD models. They are equipped with high precision sensors, closed loop regeneration and climate data logging. Safe, low humidity control of less than 2%RH.
