Neotel SMF

NEXIM runs your line.
SMF runs your material flow —
alongside it.

SMF is not a NEXIM replacement — it’s the layer that handles everything NEXIM doesn’t: warehouse inventory, automated storage retrieval, lineside delivery and reel-level traceability. The two work in parallel, each doing what it does best.

SMF complements NEXIM — it does not replace it
NEXIM manages your Fuji production line, program scheduling and component placement data. SMF operates in the warehouse and material logistics layer — a separate, additive capability. Customers do not need to modify or replace any NEXIM workflows to deploy SMF. The integration is additive by design.
Use Cases

Three ways NEXIM and SMF work together

Material issuance, real-time replenishment and closed-loop return — these are where the gap between NEXIM’s schedule and the shop floor gets filled.

SCENARIO 01
Work-Order Material Issuance
When NEXIM releases a production order, SMF receives the material demand, locates and locks the correct reels in inventory, and delivers them to the designated lineside station — fully tracked.
1
NEXIM sends work order with part list and placement requirements
2
SMF checks inventory, applies FEFO rules, locks reels
3
SMD BOX retrieves; Neo Light guides placement to station
4
Issued UID and quantity confirmed; result written to NEXIM
SCENARIO 02
Exception Handling & Shortage Escalation
If SMF cannot fulfil a material request due to shortage or expired lot, it flags the exception back to NEXIM immediately — giving the production team time to respond before the line stops.
1
SMF detects insufficient stock or expired material during task
2
Exception flag raised; partial fulfilment documented
3
NEXIM receives alert with specific part number and shortage qty
4
Procurement or substitution workflow initiated upstream
SCENARIO 03
End-of-Run Return & Consumption Record
After the production run, surplus reels are scanned back into SMF, stored automatically in SMD BOX, and final consumption data — quantity used, UID, lot — is pushed back to NEXIM to close the traceability record.
1
Operator scans returned reels at Neo Scan station
2
SMF updates remaining quantity and routes to SMD BOX
3
Storage slot updated; bake timer reset if applicable
4
Final consumption record synced to NEXIM
Data Flow

What data moves, and in which direction

NEXIM defines the demand. SMF records the execution. The interface is intentionally minimal — only what each system needs to do its job.

NEXIM → SMF Direction SMF → NEXIM
Work Order ID + Line⇔Execution Status
Part Number + Qty Required→Issued Qty + UID List
Component Rules + Version→Lot / Batch Reference
Production Schedule→Kit Ready / Issue Timestamp
Replenishment Signal⇔New Reel UID + Remaining Qty
—←Shortage / Exception Alert
—←Return Receipt + Final Consumption
System Scope

What each system owns

The boundary is clean. NEXIM owns placement and scheduling intelligence. SMF owns inventory execution and hardware control. No logic is duplicated.

NEXIM Handles
  • Production scheduling, component placement data and program control
  • Fuji equipment management and optimisation
  • Component rules, approved substitutions and version governance
  • Production monitoring and operator guidance
  • Receiving issuance results and exception status from SMF
SMF Handles
  • Inventory check, reel locking and FEFO/FIFO sequencing
  • Issuance, replenishment, return and cycle-count task management
  • Device orchestration across SMD BOX, Neo Light, Neo Scan, Neo Counter and AGV
  • UID, quantity, lot, bake time and full material status history
  • Exception detection and shortage notification
In one sentence: NEXIM tells the line what to place and when — SMF ensures the right reel is at the right station, at the right time, with every handoff recorded.
