Manual picking averages 45 seconds per reel and frequent errors cause costly line stoppages. NEO LIGHT uses pick-to-light guidance and position-sensing technology so operators no longer need to memorize thousands of bin locations — reducing single-pick time to 3 seconds and driving error rates well below 0.1%. Six models cover storage, retrieval, and return, delivering warehouse digitalization without any production-line modifications.
Across the full material lifecycle — from incoming receipt to post-production return — precise tracking at every step is critical. NEO LIGHT covers inbound storage, work-order retrieval, and post-production return, serving as the storage management hub throughout the material flow.
NEO LIGHT offers two dimensions of choice: picking technology and deployment mode. Pick-to-light or sensor-enhanced, stationary or mobile — select the combination that matches your line requirements.
For stencils and moisture-sensitive devices, NEO LIGHT provides dedicated solutions. No need to compromise on a general-purpose model for specialized material handling.
Compare key specifications across all six models to find the configuration that matches your line.

NEO LIGHT and SMD BOX form a powerful co-deployment model: SMD BOX serves as the central warehouse for bulk material storage, while NEO LIGHT deploys as line-side shelving for workstation-level kitting. Connected through SMF software, inventory stays globally visible and materials flow between central and line-side storage on demand.
Light-guided picking with manual handling. Low investment, fast deployment — ideal for line-side kitting, small-to-medium lines, or flexible production scenarios.
Fully automatic storage and retrieval, unmanned operation — built for central warehouses, large-scale lines, and high-compliance factories.
